Betaine and trehalose…any good?
Got a couple new (to me) humectants, just wondering what people’s thoughts were on them. Do you notice a difference when adding them to a formula? I see them in a ton of products, especially trehalose in some higher-end ones

Actually…I would put them both in the category of skin soothers, and protectents. Betaine being the better humectant of the two.
Absolutely love them….and use them in most everything….but you still need some support from your traditional humectents.

Something I found sitting on my desktop…. easy leisure reading.

Betaine would be more hydrating and provide a sight soothing effect compared to Trehalose. There’s not much skin feel to Trehalose, i feel. Both are fine to use, so it depends on preference and requirements.

On that paper I linked….jump down to page 24….for the cosmetic section. But the whole thing is a good read.
