Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Brightening, Strengthening, and Barrier-Boosting

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble powerhouse used in both skincare and haircare formulations. Backed by years of research, this multifunctional ingredient helps improve skin texture, even skin tone, reduce redness, and support a healthy skin barrier. Niacinamide is available as a fine, white crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water and should be added to the heated water phase of your formulations.

Ideal for use in serums, creams, toners, masks, and facial moisturizers, this ingredient offers visible benefits even at low usage rates. Whether you're formulating for oily, sensitive, mature, or acne-prone skin, Niacinamide is a go-to ingredient to brighten, balance, and restore.
