Niacinamida (Vitamina B3) Grado USP - Ingrediente cosmético - 30g

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide or vitamin B3, is an active ingredient widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is a form of vitamin B3 that stands out for its stability and efficacy in topical formulations. Our product is USP grade niacinamide, with a purity of 99-100%, guaranteeing the highest quality for use as a raw material in cosmetic manufacturing.

Unlike other forms of vitamin B3, niacinamide does not produce the characteristic redness or 'flush' when applied to the skin, making it an ideal choice for all types of formulations, even for sensitive skin. It is a versatile ingredient found in numerous facial and body care products.

Properties and Benefits in Cosmetics

Niacinamide is recognized in the field of dermatology and cosmetics for its many beneficial properties for the skin. Among the most prominent are:

• It helps to improve the overall appearance of the skin, helping to even out skin tone and reduce imperfections.
• It helps strengthen the skin barrier, which promotes moisture retention and protects against external aggressors.
• It is known for its ability to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
• It can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and improve skin texture.
• Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it is suitable for acne-prone skin or skin with redness.

These benefits are based on scientific studies and extensive experience of use in cosmetic formulations. However, results may vary depending on skin type and the concentration used.

How to Use Niacinamide in Cosmetic Formulations

Powdered niacinamide can be incorporated into a wide variety of homemade or professional cosmetic products. It is water-soluble and stable over a wide pH range (between 5 and 7). It is recommended to dissolve it in the aqueous phase of the formulation to ensure homogeneous distribution.

Some common applications include:

• Facial serums: dissolved at 2-5% in aqueous solutions with other active ingredients.
• Moisturizing creams: added to the aqueous phase in concentrations of 2-4%.
• Masks: incorporated into leave-on or wash-off formulations.
• Toners: dissolved in water or hydrosols for application with a cotton pad.
• Eye contour products: at a low concentration (1-2%) to improve luminosity.

It is important to perform stability and compatibility tests with other ingredients, especially with acids such as pure L-ascorbic (vitamin C), as they may require different pH levels. It is recommended to use precise equipment to measure quantities and follow good manufacturing practices.

Recommended Use Dosage in Cosmetics

Typical concentrations of niacinamide in cosmetic products range from 2% to 5%. For formulations aimed at specific problems such as hyperpigmentation, concentrations of up to 10% may be used under professional supervision. However, high concentrations can increase the risk of irritation in sensitive skin.

As it is a powdered ingredient, it must be completely dissolved before adding it to the formulation. It is recommended to start with low concentrations and adjust according to skin tolerance.

Precautions and Storage

Niacinamide is generally well tolerated, but as with any active ingredient, a patch test is recommended before widespread use. In case of irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light and humidity. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children.

This product is a cosmetic ingredient, not a finished product. It is not intended for oral consumption. Its exclusive use is as a raw material for the production of cosmetics or added directly to existing skin care products.
