Description

Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, is a water – soluble vitamin B3 derivative that has become a staple ingredient in the cosmetics industry. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes within skin cells, offering multiple benefits for skin health and appearance. Nicotinamide can effectively inhibit the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes, reducing the formation of dark spots and promoting skin brightening. It also strengthens the skin’s barrier function by promoting the synthesis of ceramides, preventing moisture loss and enhancing skin resilience against environmental aggressors. Additionally, nicotinamide exhibits anti – inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. By regulating sebum production, it is beneficial for oily and acne – prone skin types, minimizing the occurrence of breakouts. Widely used in a wide range of cosmetic products including moisturizers, serums, toners, and masks, nicotinamide is highly valued for its versatility and efficacy in improving overall skin quality.​

Applications of Nicotinamide

Skin Brightening:Inhibits melanin transfer, reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even and luminous complexion.

Barrier Function Enhancement:Promotes the production of ceramides, strengthens the skin barrier, improves skin hydration, and reduces transepidermal water loss.

Anti – Inflammatory:Alleviates skin inflammation, soothes redness and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive and irritated skin.

Sebum Regulation:Controls sebum production, helps to minimize pores, and is beneficial for oily and acne – prone skin, reducing the likelihood of breakouts.

Anti – Aging:Stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and delays the signs of skin aging.

Formulation Compatibility:Easily incorporated into various cosmetic formulations, such as water – based, emulsion, and gel systems, without affecting product stability.
