Betaine - herbal hydrator
Betaine is a cell-protecting amino acid derivative that occurs as a secondary plant micronutrient in wild plants and is mostly obtained from sugar beets. Betaine helps plants survive in dry and salty environments. It protects cells from drying out and protects cell proteins from denaturation.
Betaine is a component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It increases the skin's ability to retain water and its moisture content. It helps to keep the skin smooth and supple.
