TRIMETHYLGLYCINE (Betaine)

Description

Betaine actively moisturizes, has a conditioning effect, relieves skin irritation, reduces the destructive effect of surface-active substances, helps to increase their volume and stabilizes the foam, enhances the conditioning effect of other components and is a good conditioner itself, has a superficial effect on the skin. Mainly acts as a moisturizer and anti-irritant in cosmetic products. The small polar molecules of this ingredient tend to form hydrogen bonds (AKA interact with water), which, in turn, gives it the ability to retain moisture. It is able to provide excellent skin hydration without the residual stickiness often associated with glycerin-based emulsions. When used in skin care products, it can temporarily reduce the depth of wrinkles, giving the face a much smoother appearance. Its specific molecular structure is also responsible for giving it unique dissolving properties and sensory properties such as silkiness and smoothness. Its "silk effect", in turn, is the reason why it is used in many shampoos and hair conditioners.
