Betaine - vegan natural hydrator
Betaine is a derivative of the amino acid glycine. It is a cell protective secondary plant micro nutrient, occuring naturally in many wild plants. Betaine helps the plants to survive in a salty and dry environment. This active agent protects the plant from drying out and preserves its cellular proteins from denaturation. Betaine is a component of the skin's natural moisturizing system (NMF = natural moisturizing factor). It increases the cells’ ability to bind water, thus effectively reducing trans epidermal moisture loss and smoothing the skin.
