bitop AG, a German company founded in 1993, is worldwide recognized as a specialist for biotechnological production of Extremolytes, used in medical devices and as active cosmetic ingredients for personal care products.
Extremolytes are small molecules that are accumulated inside of extremophiles, i.e. microorganisms that thrive under extreme environmental conditions. These small protective molecules create large effects: they stabilize and maintain biological structures and protect the extremophiles from environmental stresses such as variations in temperature, high salt concentrations, strong UV radiation, or dehydration. These characteristics have been made available for human use by bitop, utilizing a highly specialized manufacturing process.
bitop’s product portfolio of active cosmetic ingredients comprises besides Ectoin® and further Extremolyte-containing products as Glycoin® natural and 28Extremoin®.
