INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Betaine (Trimethylglycine) Cosmetic Powder

Betaine (Trimethylglycine) is a cosmetic-grade multifunctional humectant and osmoprotectant that helps improve skin hydration, enhance sensory feel, and reduce the irritation potential of surfactants in cosmetic formulations.

Naturally derived from sugar beet, Betaine is widely used in serums, toners, cleansers, lotions, masks, shampoos, and conditioners where improved moisturisation and skin feel are desired.

Our Betaine is supplied as a high-purity, cosmetic-grade powder with COA-backed specifications, selected for consistent performance and reliable formulation.
