Nicotinamide ( niacinamide), also known as vitamin B3, is an amide compound of nicotinic acid. White crystalline powder; odorless or almost odorless, bitter taste; slightly hygroscopic. Easily soluble in water or ethanol, soluble in glycerol. It plays a variety of important roles in the body and has attracted much attention in the field of skin care due to its versatility and wide range of skincare benefits. Let's take a look.
Niacinamide is one of the two main forms of vitamin B3, the other being niacin. Its chemical structure allows it to be soluble in water, which means it can be used in water-based formulas such as serums, toners, and moisturizers. In the body, niacinamide participates in the energy metabolism process, helping to convert food into energy. It is also an important cofactor for DNA repair and cell communication.
