Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, has become one of the most researched and respected ingredients in modern skincare and for a good reason. It's versatility, skin tolerance, and broadspectrum benefits make it a true all-rounder, especially for sensitive or uneven skin types.
Where does niacinamide come from?
Naturally, vitamin B3 can be found in food such as green vegetables, seeds, nuts, and grains. However the niacinamide used in skincare is created through a biosynthetic fermentation process ; a clean, lab-controlled method that mimics nature while ensuring purity and stability. The result is a vegan friendly, highly stable form of niacinamide that your skin can absorb and use effectively.
What does niacinamide do for your skin?
At the optimal concentration of 5% niacinamide helps to:
- Brighten dull, uneven skin tones
- Reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Calm redness and inflammation
- Strengthen the skin's natural barrier
- Regulate excess oil without drying out the skin
- Smooth the skin's texture and refine the appearance of pores
It's one of the few ingredients that delivers real result without irritating the skin, even if your skin is reactive or prone to flare-ups.
