Moisturization, protection and sensory benefits

In water-free and solid cosmetics

Mitigates surface irritation

Moisturizes lip

Improvement of lip moisturization immediately and 2 hours after application.

Natural osmolyte

Helps manage water balance in skin and protect keratinocytes from dehydration.

Mode of action

1. Stratum Corneum hydration
As a humectant, betaine captures water molecules on the surface.

2. Skin barrier strengthening
Betaine makes the tight junctions between keratinocytes stronger; increase skin barrier integrity and cohesion to limit water loss.

3. Keratinocytes protected from dehydration
Osmolyte strategy: under oxidative (UV) or thermal stress, keratinocytes synthesize specific osmolyte transporters on the membrane for an active intake of betaine, leading to an increased water intake and cell volume recovery.
