Vitamin B3 has multiple benefits in skin care formulations from lightening and evening out the skin tone to boosting collagen production and keeping the skin smooth and more elastic.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

It is a white, crystalline, odorless powder with a low content of niacin.
 
Niacinamide is the water soluble form of niacin.
 
Vitamin B3 belongs to the family of the B vitamins and is essential in the diet.
 
Oral supplements are very useful but there has always been a side effect known as “Niacin flush” whereby the skin would appear flushed and prickly for a few minutes after taking the supplement.
This is a special cosmetic grade of Vitamin B3 with minimal residual nicotinic acid so there is no flush or prickling.
 
It is for external use only and the skin is left feeling very comfortable when it is used in creams, lotions, gels, toners and serums.
 
According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (CosIng), the functions of Vitamin B3 are: Smoothing.

Great product

Love using this product in creams. Would recommend ensuring properly dissolved in a small amount of liquid first before adding.

Good quality product

I made a face cream with 5% niacinamide and 5% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate to even out my skin. I'm waiting to see the results.

Easy & Uncomplicated

Ordering from your site was smooth and painless. I can only hope that the Niacinamide that I purchased is of fantastic quality, as unfortunately I dont have the equipment to check. The good news is that it dissolved into the solvent we are wanting to use for our product as it is not water based.

Vit B3

It is easy to use when you follow the steps correctly. It is very kind to skin. It is a must in my daily facial routine. I love it. When people ask of the products I use and I tell the it is DIY creams, tgey are always surprised. I ended up getting products from Aromatic for them and helped them do their own cream.

Lovely feel

I really love this B3 as it dissolves so easily and does not have the stingy feel that other Niacinamides do.

Great product, easy to incorporate into your product

I like the consistency of this additive. It can be used in small or larger amounts to treat varying degrees of discolouration. It has no smell so can be used in most leave on products. Nice!
