INCI: Niacinamide
Also known as Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3, Niacinamide is a well-researched ingredient that is beneficial for both acne-prone and mature skin types.
Studies have shown that at a 2% concentration, Niacinamide can reduce Sebum production and at a 4% concentration will reduce inflammation and the number of acne lesions.
For mature skin types, it helps to increase the production of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in the skin as well as reducing transepidermal water loss. It also acts to improve the surface structure of the skin helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigments spots whilst increasing the elasticity of the skin.
Usage:
Add directly to finished cream base or to the water phase of an emulsion.
Daily use 1-2%
Acne-Prone Skin: 4%
Mature Skin Intensive Care: 5%
pH: 6
Avoid using in conjunction with ascorbic acid (vitamin c).
Used to make a skin cream - not so good that it came in a taped up paper bag as, when opened this went everywhere.
Working really well alongside other pure nature products for acne prone, sensitive eczema skin.
Good price, not too sure if works well
I mix this with my moisturiser to boost its anti aging properties
Awesome value for a water soluble ingredient that's very popular in new skin formulations. Unfortunately the delightful compostable pouch it comes in is a little awkward to take precise amounts from so have transferred into a sealed jar for measuring from.
