Niacinamide

After years of being considered a background player, niacinamide is finally receiving the recognition it deserves as a 'silent hero' in skincare products. Its efficacy and versatility are taking centre stage in the skincare industry.

Niacinamide, a vitamin B3 variant, is a water-soluble vitamin of the vitamin B complex. Also known as nicotinamide, niacinamide is a superstar element that promotes healthy skin. It is a multi-purpose skincare ingredient that helps the skin build keratin, a protein that aids in achieving smooth, bright, and robust skin health. 

What does niacinamide do to the skin?

1. Moisturisation: Improves skin's barrier, boosts hydration and controls water loss. 
2. Brightening: Reduces the appearance of dark spots, scars and hyperpigmentation, leading to brighter and even skin tone. 
3. Anti-Inflammatory: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and acne. 
4. Anti-ageing: Fades fine lines and wrinkles, thereby enhancing skin's elasticity. 
5. Oil Regulation: It regulates sebum production and benefits those with oily or acne-prone skin. 

Many protein-rich foods can naturally contain niacinamide. However, the quantity may be relatively small compared to the concentrations found in Conscious Chemists's niacinamide-infused skincare products.
