【Core Benefits】
Microcirculation Improvement: Nicotinic acid dilates blood vessels and promotes blood flow, suitable for eye creams (improves dark circles) and scalp care (supports hair retention), with a gentle, non-irritating profile.
Anti-aging & Brightening: Boosts cellular NAD+ levels to support energy metabolism and work synergistically against aging; improves microcirculation to help brighten complexion, reduce dullness, and alleviate tired-looking skin.
Firming & Wrinkle Reduction: Enhances skin oxygenation and metabolism, supports collagen synthesis, effectively reduces fine lines and sagging, and restores skin firmness.
Barrier Repair: Stimulates epidermal differentiation in photodamaged skin, increases skin NAD content, and strengthens the skin barrier. Suitable for chronic photodamage, atopic dermatitis, and post-procedure repair.
【Applicable Products & Recommended Dosage】
Applicable Products: Serums, creams, eye creams, neck creams, body lotions, firming lotions
Recommended Addition Rate: 0.5% – 2%
【Features & Advantages】
Gentle & Low Irritation: Compared to nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), it is less likely to cause skin irritation and flushing, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Broad Oil-Soluble Compatibility: Ideal for oil-phase formulations such as creams, facial oils, and eye creams, offering strong formulation versatility.
Excellent Skin Feel: Smooth texture, non-sticky, enhances product emollience and improves the user experience.
Good Stability: Can be stored for extended periods at room temperature away from light, requiring no special storage conditions and reducing formulation waste.
Good Solubility: Readily soluble in oils and alcohols, insoluble in water, facilitating easy formulation preparation.
