INCI: Niacinamide
A versatile form of vitamin B3 that supports the skin barrier, balanced hydration, and a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 widely used in modern skincare for its versatility and compatibility with a broad range of formulations. Rather than functioning primarily as an exfoliant or resurfacing ingredient, niacinamide helps support several processes associated with healthy-looking, resilient skin.
Its ability to complement both hydrating and barrier-supportive ingredients makes it particularly useful in daily facial moisturizers and other leave-on skincare products.
Benefits
Niacinamide helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier, which plays an important role in retaining hydration and protecting the skin from everyday environmental stress. With consistent use, it can help improve the appearance of dryness, uneven texture, dullness, and uneven-looking skin tone.
It is also valued for helping support a more balanced-looking complexion and improving the appearance of enlarged pores and excess surface oil. These broad benefits make niacinamide suitable for many skin types, including skin experiencing dryness, visible aging, or uneven tone.
Niacinamide + Hydration
Niacinamide does not simply add water to the skin. Instead, it complements humectants and emollients by helping support the barrier responsible for maintaining moisture within the skin.
This makes it particularly effective in a moisturizer where it can work alongside ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and botanical emollients to provide both immediate hydration and longer-term barrier support.
Why We Use Niacinamide
At Pure Intox, Niacinamide is incorporated into Hydrating Cream as part of a multi-dimensional approach to moisture and skin conditioning.
While humectants help attract water and botanical oils and emollients help soften the skin and reduce moisture loss, Niacinamide provides additional support for the skin's natural barrier and overall appearance. The result is a formula designed to address hydration as more than surface moisture alone.
Sourcing & Quality
We use cosmetic-grade Niacinamide selected for purity, consistency, and compatibility with leave-on facial skincare formulations.
As with other active ingredients, Niacinamide is incorporated as part of the complete formulation rather than treated as an isolated ingredient. Its concentration, formulation environment, and combination with complementary ingredients all contribute to the performance and sensory character of the finished product.
