Niacinamide can be incorporated into face serums, brightening serums, moisturizers, facial creams, lotions, toners, hydrating gels, barrier-support products, oil-control formulations, blemish-care products, eye-area formulations, body lotions and scalp-care formulations.

It is particularly useful when developing products targeting uneven skin tone, dullness, excess oil, enlarged-looking pores, dehydration and weakened skin-barrier appearance.

Recommended Usage: 1–5%

For general facial skincare, 2–5% is a useful formulation range. Add Niacinamide to the water phase or dissolve it separately in distilled/deionized water before incorporation. For convenient processing, it can be incorporated during the cool-down stage, preferably below approximately 40–50°C.

Maintain the finished formulation at approximately pH 5.0–7.0 and perform stability, compatibility and skin-tolerance testing on the finished product.

Important: Niacinamide powder is a cosmetic raw material and should not be applied directly to the skin in its concentrated powder form.

Recommended Ingredients to Use with Niacinamide

Niacinamide can be combined with different ingredient groups depending on the desired product:

Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Panthenol and Glycerin help complement niacinamide in hydration-focused serums and moisturizers.

Barrier-Support Ingredients: Ceramides and Squalane are excellent additions for barrier-repair and dry-skin formulations.

Carrier Oils: Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil can be incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions containing Niacinamide.

Butters: Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Kokum Butter work particularly well in richer barrier-support creams and body formulations.

Essential Oils: Lavender, Frankincense and Geranium essential oils may be used at appropriate dermal-safe concentrations when a formulation requires them. They are optional rather than necessary for Niacinamide’s effectiveness.
