Betaine Powder
Professional cosmetic ingredient — not a finished product.
Betaine Powder is a naturally derived hydrating and skin-conditioning ingredient obtained from sugar beets. It helps maintain skin and hair moisture balance by acting as a humectant and osmolyte—protecting cells from dehydration and environmental stress.
Used in both skincare and haircare, Betaine provides a silky, soft finish without tackiness, making it ideal for moisturizers, toners, shampoos, conditioners, and cleansers. It supports barrier repair, boosts hydration, and improves product texture and spreadability.
