**NEW PRODUCT** Niacinamide B3 Serum (1 oz)
This very light serum absorbs quickly into skin
while it delivers 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to your skin. It uses a
brand new emulsifying system (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetyl
Palmitate and Palm Stearic Acid) that is accepted and approved natural.
The emulsifying and the organic preservative system conforms with the
Whole Food Premium list, are across all databases and the CIR panel
rated as safe, and are approved for use in products certified by the on
the Natural Products Association (NPA) and NSF made with organic
standard.
Studies have proven in the recent years that niacinamide is a powerful ingredient that yields many skin care benefits.
Commonly
known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide at 2% has been shown to reduce water
loss in the skin and retain fatty acid levels (younger, plumper, firmer)
It has also been proven at high concentrations (between 3-4%) to be a
very effective acne reducer. Clinical research has shown niacinamide
(Vit B3) to be just as effective as the topical antibiotic Clindamycin
at treating acne. Obviously Niacinamide doesn’t run the risk of
resistance, since it is not an antibiotic.
Niacinamide
is also an excellent skin lightening agent that works by disrupting the
transfer of melanosome from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte. A
study done by Procter & Gamble that proved that the combination of
niacinamide and glucosamine (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) demonstrated
significant skin lightening in patients.
In
general, most individuals saw results after 12 weeks of daily usage
(and saw a reduction of 35-68% of pigmentation). Like with most other
skin lightening compounds, niacinamide has an inhibitory effect and in
order to get the most out of it, you must be wearing sunscreen everyday
and exfoliate often to ensure a complete melanin inhibiting process.
