ONE OF THE MOST IN-DEMAND INGREDIENTS IN COSMETICS

One of the biggest appeals of Nicotinamide is its long list of benefits.

Nicotinamide works with skin's natural chemistry to improve overall skin texture by rebuilding a ipid layer, minimizing the appearance of pores, and preventing UV/ damage and infiammation as an antioxidant. It can also help with discoloration and redness, diminish fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen, and it's a good choice for those with sensitive skin, rosacea, and acne.

Nicotinamide is also effective when paired with other ingredients because it can help to strengthen the skin barier, thus making other ingredients easier to tolerate.

Effect:

① Prevention and treatment of pellagra, stomatitis, glossitis, etc

② Nutritional enhancer that promotes digestion

③ Blocking melanin transport and brightening the skin

Applications:

① Nutritional enhancement

② Feed additive

③ Whitening ingredient in cosmetics

Skin Lightening Effect:

Nicotinamide is an effective skin lightening compound that works by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes.

Anti-Aging:

Nicotinamide is a precursor for co-factors NAD(H) and NADP(H) that are important in a variety of cellular pathways that affect skin physiology. NAD(H) and NADP(H) decrease with age giving rise to the notion that supplementing skin with niacinamide can provide anti-aging benefits. In their reduced forms, NADH and NADPH act as antioxidants that can mitigate oxidative stress associated with intrinsic aging and photoaging.
