I wonder if you see betaine in the cosmetics ingredient list? It was originally used to extract sucrose, but later it was found that this ingredient has a certain effect and can be used in skin care products. So what is the effect of betaine on the skin? Let's take a look at the beauty benefits of betaine!
Efficacy of betaine in skin care products
Moisturizing effect
Betaine can allow water molecules to be fully absorbed and utilized by living cells, so when a water molecule occupies the middle of betaine zwitterions, it is easy to release its own water molecules to surrounding liquids. The moisturizing mechanism of betaine is much higher than other moisturizing agents, and it can maintain long-term moisturizing at low concentrations.
Repair effect
Betaine is a biologically active form of vitamin that plays a role in protein formation and DNA repair.
Reduce irritation and allergy
Adding betaine to shampoo can significantly reduce the stimulation of surface active ingredients on the scalp, and can also improve the itching and drying of the scalp. If added to fruit acid anti aging products, betaine can significantly improve the skin irritation caused by low pH of fruit acid, and can also reduce the occurrence of allergies.
Protective cell performance
When the skin is subjected to high osmotic pressure from the external environment, it can cause a large loss of cellular osmolality, resulting in cell apoptosis. Betaine osmolans can inhibit this process and penetrate through the cuticle of the skin to protect cell balance.
The above four points are the cosmetic effects of betaine. Do you know the effects of betaine on the skin? If you see this ingredient in the ingredient list of cosmetics in the future, I believe you will know what its role is.
