Adding Safe-B3™ to Your Lotion

Yes, you can add Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) to your favorite lotion. Safe-B3™ is a high-purity form of Niacinamide that offers several benefits for the skin.

Benefits of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Adding Niacinamide to your lotion can help:

• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
• Lessen redness and dark spots (hyperpigmentation)
• Increase skin moisture by stimulating collagen and ceramide production
• Strengthen the skin barrier
• Reduce facial oiliness, making it suitable for acne-prone skin
• Improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes by increasing blood flow

How to Add Safe-B3™

Safe-B3™ is a white powder that dissolves in water. It should be mixed into the water phase of a formulation. The optimal pH range for Niacinamide is 3-8, with 4.0-7.0 being best.

Recommended Usage Rate

The recommended usage rate for Niacinamide is typically 1-10%. The Safe-B3™ type is specifically noted for its ultra-high purity, allowing it to be used up to 10% without causing flushing or skin irritation, which can sometimes occur with standard Niacinamide at higher concentrations (above 5%).

Always ensure you do not exceed the maximum usage rate recommended by the manufacturer or regulatory guidelines.
