Beta Vulgaris Root Extract
Beetroot extract
Beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris) contains natural sugars, betaine, minerals and betalains - the pigments that give beets their intense colour. Well known from the kitchen, this ingredient works beautifully in cosmetics as a gentle humectant.
Betaine and sugars bind water in the epidermis, so the extract moisturises, softens and reduces that tight feeling. It also helps soothe any irritation after washing, which makes it a great fit for cleansing products.
You will find it in our face cream, lip balms, facial cleansing foams and shampoo bar.
Did you know?: Betaine, one of the most valuable components of the extract, owes its name to the beet itself - Beta is the Latin name of the plant's genus.
