The Ingredients To Die For VegeMoist is not the same thing as the common Beet Sugar that you will find on grocery store shelves. VegeMoist is a specialized extraction from the Beet Sugar.
VegeMoist is a food grade moisturizer that is naturally derived from a renewable source of Beet Sugar. Betaine is one of the four classes of osmolytes which act to maintain intracellular hydration (water levels) helping to prevent damage from environmental stressors such as UV radiation, and oxidation. This important function allows the cells to function more efficiently to help prevent damage and the dehydration responsible for the look of parched, sallow, and discolored skin. The true key to the look of healthy skin is hydration. Unlike traditional humectants, which draw moisture from the environment, VegeMoist adds hydration directly due to it's abundant source of sacharides. VegeMoist hydrates from within, making it a suitable choice for any climate or environment. This cellular hydrating activity makes VegeMoist the perfect choice for any formulas designed to support skin function and appearance, especially anti-aging skin care, moisturizing body care, and hair care.
VegeMoist is the single most effective key to adding moisture and hydration back to the skin.
Skin becomes dry for two reasons: prolonged exposure to the elements and physical and chemical changes to the skin as a result of aging. This can be improved by either stopping the loss of water from the skin, or by restoring lost hydration and moisture. VegeMoist is clinically proven to restore lost hydration and moisture. Hydration is critical for a more youthful appearance because skin may become wrinkled at any age but, dry, lack lustre skin is a definite reflection of aging.
VegeMoist is also a great choice for hair care products where it will add hydration, due to it's affinity with water. Water will follow any osmolytes (sugars, betaine, amino acids), as they penetrate the hair shaft. Betaine is found in hair, naturally, and is responsible for it's sheen, and manageability. When hair becomes dry it is in part due to a deficiency in this vital component. Studies have shown that VegeMoist penetrates, and stays in the hair. A shampoo, containing 5% VegeMoist, used for six weeks, increased the hair content of Betaine by a minimum of 40%.
