Vitamine B3 Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide (niacinamide) is the non-flushing form of vitamin B3 — unlike nicotinic acid, the other common niacin form, nicotinamide doesn't trigger the characteristic skin-flushing reaction, making it the preferred choice for formulators who want the functional benefits of niacin without the tolerability concerns that come with higher-dose nicotinic acid products.

Beyond its role as an essential water-soluble vitamin, nicotinamide has become a mainstay ingredient in advanced skincare formulations, valued for its stability and compatibility across a wide range of topical and oral delivery systems. This dual relevance — as both a core nutritional vitamin and a functional cosmetic active — makes it a versatile addition to combination products spanning general wellness, skin health, and beauty-from-within categories.

Formulators can draw on the established list of EU-authorized health claims for niacin under Regulation (EU) 432/2012, including its contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal function of the nervous system, normal psychological function, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and maintenance of normal skin — provided the finished product meets the required minimum content per the claim conditions. Supplied as a fine, free-flowing white powder, it integrates readily into capsules, tablets, powder blends, and topical formulations.
