Betaine

What is Betaine?

Also known as trimethylglycine, it is a natural compound found in foods such as beets, spinach, and whole grains. It is primarily used for its moisturizing and soothing properties, reducing the static electricity of our hair or hair by neutralizing the electrical charge on our surface. It is an excellent way to condition the hair, as it leaves it flexible, soft, shiny, light, voluminous, and easy to comb.

On the other hand, it is a humectant, capable of retaining the water of a cosmetic in its container and on the skin itself. In part, it follows the same function as niacinamide, as betaine is also a skin care agent. It is responsible for keeping it in good condition and is a viscosity control agent, as it increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetics.

It is commonly found in a variety of skincare products such as moisturizers, serums, and lotions. It can be used topically by applying it directly to clean, dry skin, or it may be present in cleansing and exfoliating products to help maintain moisture during the cleansing process.
