Betaine Salicylate
Betaine salicylate is a compound that combines betaine, a natural humectant (Substances that attract water) derived from sugar beets, with salicylic acid, a well-known beta hydroxy acid (BHA) (Beta-hydroxy acids are a type of mild acid found in plants).
It is commonly used in skincare for its gentle exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to clear pores and remove dead skin cells while maintaining skin hydration. This ingredient is particularly suitable for sensitive skin and can serve as a milder alternative to traditional salicylic acid.
