INGREDIENT OVERVIEW
Niacinamide 10% Solution
Niacinamide 10% Solution is a pre-dissolved system containing 10% niacinamide, designed for easy integration into water-based formulations.
It removes the need to dissolve niacinamide powder, providing consistent clarity and reducing formulation variability. This makes it suitable for both beginner and professional formulators.
In formulation, niacinamide functions as a versatile active used to support overall skin conditioning and improve formulation performance.
Prepared as a clear, water-based system and preserved for stability, this solution provides a controlled and reliable way to incorporate niacinamide into cosmetic formulations.
