Niacinamide PC (10ppm) – Advanced Particle-Controlled Grade

Description

Niacinamide PC (10ppm) is a next-generation, particle-controlled Nicotinamide designed for enhanced solubility, stability, and bioavailability in cosmetic formulations. Its particle size ensures rapid dispersion in water-based systems, making it ideal for high-performance skincare applications.

Niacinamide PC (10ppm) offers enhanced dissolution, stability, and bio-performance compared to conventional niacinamide grades (<100ppm), making it ideal for premium, high-efficacy skincare formulations.

Mechanism of Action & Skin Benefit

Brightening & Pigmentation Control

Skin damage often triggers chronic inflammation, which stimulates melanocytes to overproduce melanin—leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Niacinamide PC works by:

• Inhibiting melanin transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes
• Reducing visible pigmentation across multiple epidermal layers
• Enhancing overall skin luminosity (L value)*

Result: Brighter, more even-toned complexion

Skin Barrier Repair & Strengthening

Niacinamide plays a critical role in restoring the skin’s protective barrier by:

• Increasing ceramide synthesis
• Boosting free fatty acids and lipid production
• Enhancing key structural proteins such as:
  • Filaggrin
  • Keratin
  • Collagen fibers

It also helps repair damage caused by harsh surfactants and solvents, making it ideal for compromised or sensitive skin.

Result: Stronger, more resilient skin barrier with reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL)

Deep Hydration & Moisture Retention

By reinforcing lipid structures within the skin, Niacinamide PC:

• Minimizes moisture loss
• Improves skin hydration levels
• Enhances overall skin smoothness and suppleness

Result: Long-lasting hydration and improved skin texture

Antioxidant & Cellular Protection

Niacinamide is a well-documented antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative stress by:

• Reducing the NADP/NADPH ratio
• Inhibiting formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Preventing:
  • Lipid peroxidation
  • Protein damage
  • DNA modification

Result: Protection against environmental stress and premature aging

Anti-Aging & Skin Renewal

Recent studies (including PVN complex research involving Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and DNA derivatives) have shown that Niacinamide:

• Improves skin elasticity
• Increases epidermal thickness
• Supports visible wrinkle reduction

Result: Firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin

Key Functional Benefits

• Brightening & tone-evening (inhibits melanin transfer)
• Strengthens skin barrier (boosts ceramides, lipids)
• Improves hydration & reduces TEWL
• Antioxidant protection against oxidative stress
• Enhances elasticity & reduces signs of aging

Key Functional Advantages

• ✔ Ultra particle-controlled system (10ppm)
• ✔ Highly water-soluble for easy formulation
• ✔ Improved bioavailability and penetration
• ✔ Suitable for advanced brightening and repair formulations
