Appearance: Betaine is an alkaloid, scientifically named trimethylglycine, white scaly or prismatic crystalline powder, with a slight characteristic odor (sweetness), with strong hygroscopic properties
Function：
Moisturizing
Unlike the fixed water molecule of glycerin, betaine is to allow the water molecule to be completely absorbed by living cells. The time that the water molecule stays near the betaine is shorter than that of other moisturizers, so it is a real water molecule. Carrier.
Protect cells
When the skin is subjected to high osmotic pressure from the external environment, it will cause a large loss of cell permeate, resulting in apoptosis. The betaine penetrating substance can inhibit this process and protect the balance of the cells by penetrating the cuticle of the skin.
Anti-allergy
Betaine has anti-allergic effects and reduces skin irritation. It reduces the irritation effect of surface active ingredients on the skin. Due to its excellent moisturizing effect, it can increase the skin's water retention performance and protect it from external factors.
Neutralizing pH
Betaine becomes weakly acidic in aqueous solution, which can obviously improve the PH value of fruit acid in fruit acid skin care anti-aging products and reduce skin irritation.
Water retention emulsification
Sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate are added to the general cream to improve the cold resistance stability of the product, but the freezing point of the aqueous solution of betaine is better than the two, and it can be completely replaced. At the same time, it can also improve the shortcomings of the cream after drying. , Gives the skin a silky feel.
Betaine is used in creams, cleansers, facial masks, shower gels and other products, especially suitable for infants and young children products, has a good moisturizing effect on the delicate skin of infants and young children.
