Betaine(Trimethylglycine)

Description

BETAINE

Betaine is a highly water-soluble multifunctional cosmetic ingredient widely used in moisturizing and skin-conditioning formulations.

It acts primarily as a humectant, helping attract and retain moisture and supporting a soft, smooth and comfortable skin feel.

Betaine is also valued for its osmoprotective properties, helping support the skin’s moisture balance and making it particularly useful in hydrating and skin-comfort formulations.

Its excellent water solubility allows it to be incorporated into a wide variety of aqueous cosmetic systems, including creams, lotions, moisturizers, serums and gels.

Betaine is particularly suitable for modern skincare formulations where formulators want effective moisturization while maintaining a pleasant, non-heavy sensory profile.
