As shown in the picture, this is Lake Syvash (Syvash or Sivash in English, Sivaş, Çürük Deñiz in Crimean Tatar), and the aerial photos are quite beautiful!

I remember when I watched The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Wuji said: The more beautiful the woman, the more likely she will lie. The same principle applies here, "The more beautiful the scenery, the more likely she will lie."

Because it also has a terrifying name - "The Sea of Putridity", it is really worth watching from a distance but not playing with it.

The environment is also unimaginably extreme, with very high salinity, and it is one of the worst environments on earth.

However, the amazing phenomenon is that in this seemingly deadly living condition, there are still signs of life. Research has found that it is pink halophilic microorganisms.

Yes, it is such a strong halophilic bacteria that can survive in such a harsh environment. It is probably its innate special ability.

It is far from enough to fight alone. In such an extreme environment, the microorganism Ectoin (Halomonas Elongata) - INCI = Ectoin, Chinese name Ectoin, is also one of the substances that give halophilic bacteria special abilities.

What is the magical ingredient of Ectoin?

Product name: Ectoin

Appearance: white crystalline powder

Purity: >99%

PH value: 6-8 (2% aqueous solution)

Solubility: soluble in water, glycerol, propylene glycol, ethanol, etc.

Addition amount: 0.2-2%

Storage conditions: dry, room temperature, sealed storage

Even if it is placed in the present with many ingredients, Ectoin has not lost its dominant position.

It comes from the effective ingredients in a highly halophilic bacterium, so it is also called "halophilic bacteria extract".

This highly halophilic bacteria comes from the Uyuni Salt Flats, the "Mirror of the Sky" in Bolivia. Ectoin, as an ingredient, can ensure that this highly halophilic bacteria can maintain good cell activity under extreme conditions of high salt, high temperature and high ultraviolet radiation, and remain as vigorous as ever! There is nothing to fear.
