Answer
Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) Usage for Eye Area Products
Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) is a high-purity form of Vitamin B3 that offers several benefits for the skin, including the delicate eye area.
For maximum effectiveness in eye area products, Safe-B3™ can be used at a concentration of up to 10%. This specific type of Niacinamide is designed to minimize the flushing or redness commonly associated with standard Niacinamide when used at concentrations above 5%. Using Safe-B3™ allows you to achieve higher efficacy without increasing the risk of irritation.
Benefits for the eye area include:
- Reducing the appearance of dark circles by increasing blood flow.
- Improving skin barrier function and hydration.
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Helping to reduce redness and hyperpigmentation.
By using Safe-B3™ at up to 10%, you can formulate an eye product that delivers significant benefits while being gentle enough for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
