Betaine is a naturally derived ingredient that is added to skin and hair care products to increase hydration, protect the skin’s natural barrier, improve hair strength and silkiness, and enhance the texture of formulations. The benefits of betaine in skincare include hydration, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and soothing to the skin. Given that betaine naturally occurs in the body, it is a non-irritating, safe ingredient to help improve the condition of the skin. It is a natural substance that was initially derived from sugar beets.
