Niacinamide (Vitamin B3, Vitamin PP) is a very stable vitamin which offers a wide range of benefits. Niacinamide is a component of NAD and NADP, essential coenzymes in ATP production, also having a central role in DNA repair and skin homeostasis. It is a significant niacin derivative, mainly occurring in many organisms. Nicotinamide can produce coenzyme Ⅰ and Ⅱ when it reacts with ribose, adenine and phosphoric acid. Also it boosts the synthesis of DNA, fats and proteins and improves the energy metabolism of cells. So it can greatly prevent melanin deposition, and reduce discoloration. It has an effective whitening function. Nowadays, as a natural cosmetics ingredient, it is widely applied in skin and hair care products.

Benefits:

• Prevent melanin from depositing into keratinocytes

Skin will darken when melanin is delivered to keratinocytes. But Nicotinamide can act on generated melanin, and then efficiently prevent the transfer of 35% to 40% of melanin from melanocytes to horny cells. Hence, it can lessen excessive pigmentation. Clinical tests have suggested that Nicotinamide face cream can obviously reduce the brown spots ‘ number and area.

• Accelerate the metabolism of melanocytes

Nicotinamide is directly absorbed by cells owing to its small molecules. Nicotinamide can penetrate the inner layer of the skin within 2 hours. Using Nicotinamide to the skin can form energy molecules in human body quickly. It can penetrate the stratum corneum to the connective tissue and fibers between the dermis; and then it directly gets in the bottom of the cell to facilitate the metabolism of cells.

• Promote synthesis of cortical proteins on skin

Nicotinamide synthesizes protein on the surface of skin. And it amends skin texture, and moisturizes skin. In 1990, European Patent 0-396-422 shows that it can whiten skin and exert sun block effect to add Nicotinamide, 0.1% to 5% silicone compound and UVA, UVB sunscreen into the cream formulation.
