Ektopin bath emulsion with ectoine

Product description

Ektopin – a bath emulsion with ectoine and prebiotics – is a specialized product designed for delicate, demanding skin from the first days of life. It contains a carefully selected composition of emollients, humectants, and active ingredients that work together to soothe, moisturize, and protect.

The presence of ectoine – a powerful moisturizing and antioxidant ingredient – helps quickly soothe irritation, calm inflammation, and support the restoration of the skin's hydrolipid barrier. Panthenol, allantoin, and arginine work in concert to regenerate the epidermis and reduce the feeling of tightness.

The formula is enriched with prebiotics (inulin and α-glucan) that support the skin's natural microbiome. These ingredients help protect the skin from pathogens and strengthen its natural defenses.

Ektopin Bath Emulsion is fragrance-free, which reduces the risk of allergies, and its gentle, plant-based cleansing agent – caprylic/capric glucoside – does not irritate or dry out the skin. This makes it suitable for infants from day one, children, and adults with dry, sensitive, or atopic skin.

Safe composition, dermatologically confirmed tolerance and quick moisturizing and soothing effect make Ektopin restore skin comfort.

The emulsion moisturizes and smooths the skin. It rinses off very well from the skin. It does not foam, which in my opinion is an advantage, although children may be unhappy with it. Another advantage is the lack of a fragrance composition, which reduces the risk of The emulsion moisturizes and smooths the skin. It rinses off very well from the skin.

It has a natural, delicate scent, which may not suit everyone, because not everyone likes the smell of linseed oil.

EKTOPIN bath emulsion has a very good composition - dermatologically tested. The preparation takes care of the good condition of the skin - its cleansing, moisturizing and maintaining its proper microbiome. Good care and prevention of skin diseases /e.g. dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis/ are very important features in the case of a product that we can use from the 1st day of the child's life. Convenient packaging, the possibility of using as an additive to bathing and as a product for direct washing are also advantages of this product. It will certainly find its buyers as a washing and care agent for the whole family.

The child does not have skin problems, but despite this I have noticed that the product improves the quality of the skin, it is very moisturized, as after using a light balm. The emulsion is great to use as a product for both bath and shower. It does not foam, it is not a problem for me. It has a pleasant smell of a natural product.

Katarzyna, mother of Aleksander (2 years 1 month)

The baby's skin improved while using the product. The cosmetic reduced the signs of irritation. I did not notice any signs of skin drying. The consistency of the product is perfect. I have used various products of this type (emulsions) and this one is perfect. It is not too thick, it spreads well on the body and dissolves in water. However, it is not too runny. I have to take one star off for the smell.

Marta, mother of Viktoria (9 years and 4 months)

The emulsion has two functions: a cleansing product and a balm, it gently moisturizes the skin. The scent of the emulsion is delicate, characteristic of emollient products, gentle to the skin.

Marta, Kazik's mother (1 year and 8 months)

Despite its creamy consistency, the product rinses off very well, does not leave a greasy film on the skin, but at the same time gently moisturizes it. It smells delicately. It has a positive effect on sensitive skin.

Remigiusz, father of Matylda (8 months)

Emulsion is a practical solution for dry skin problems, because it is enough for 2 products, one for washing and another for moisturizing. When using emulsion, the skin is more moisturized, a great solution is to use the cosmetic already during bathing, over time I stopped lubricating the skin with additional moisturizing cosmetic. In my opinion, the smell is typical for emollient, a bit like hay or linseed oil, it is a natural smell that I like.

Janina, Zosia's mother (1 year and 1 month)

The skin was moisturized and supple. The feeling lasted until the next day. The product requires regular use, but compared to other products, the moisture lasts longer. My daughter naturally has very dry skin.

Mariola, Helena's mother (4 years and 10 months)
