Betaine (also called Betaina) is a amino acid derived from beets that increases hydration and offers skin protection. Improves mitochondrial activity and balances moisture, reduces skin irritation. Restores skin energy, maintains hydration levels and reduces skin irritation.
Naturally-sourced from sugar beets, this amino acid energizes the skin at a cellular level. Capable of restoring the water balance of skin cells, the molecule slips into pores to boost hydration, plump lines and wrinkles and calm and soothe skin.
