How to Dissolve Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) for Soap Making

Based on the properties of Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), it is highly soluble in water. Therefore, it is recommended to dissolve the Vitamin B3 powder in a small amount of water before adding it to your melted glycerin soap base.

Adding the powder directly without dissolving it first may result in uneven distribution and difficulty in fully incorporating it into the soap base.

Regarding the ratio of Vitamin B3 to water for dissolving, there isn't a strict fixed ratio. The key is to use just enough water to completely dissolve the powder. You can start with a 1:1 ratio (e.g., 1 gram of Vitamin B3 powder to 1 ml of water) and add slightly more water if needed until the powder is fully dissolved. Using minimal water is best to avoid significantly altering the soap base consistency.

Once dissolved, you can add this solution to the water phase of your soap formulation or directly incorporate it into the melted glycerin soap base, ensuring thorough mixing.
