Nicotinamide (Nicotinic Acid<10ppm) for Cosmetics and Skincare Applications

1. Product Overview

Nicotinamide, also known as Niacinamide, is one of the two active forms of Vitamin B3, the other being niacin (nicotinic acid). It is an essential component of living cells and plays a vital role in protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism.

As a precursor to the coenzymes NAD and NADP, Nicotinamide is crucial for cellular metabolism and energy production. Due to its stability and multifunctional benefits, it is widely recognized as a key ingredient in modern cosmetic formulations.

Viablife produces high purity Nicotinamide using its patented biotransformation technology, ensuring that residual Nicotinic Acid is controlled below 10 ppm. This significantly reduces the risk of skin irritation such as redness and flushing, making it ideal for sensitive skin applications.

2. Key Benefits and Functions

Skin Barrier Repair and Texture Enhancement
Nicotinamide helps rebuild the skin’s lipid barrier, improving moisture retention and resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Skin Brightening and Even Tone
It inhibits melanosome transfer, helping reduce dark spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone for a brighter complexion.

Anti-Aging Performance
By supporting collagen production and enhancing cellular energy via NAD/NADP pathways, it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin elasticity.

Anti-Inflammatory and Acne Control
Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and minimize acne breakouts.
