Question

Regarding `Product Name` (Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin), I would like to inquire about the differences between the liquid and powder forms. What are the usage methods, suitable product types, and which form (liquid or powder) has a higher percentage of `Product Name` (Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin)? Is a pure form available?

Answer

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

Regarding Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin), the product available is in a light pink powder form with a concentration of 1% Cyanocobalamin, diluted with 99% Glucose. This powder is water-soluble and will result in a light pink liquid when dissolved.

We do not have information about a separate pre-dissolved liquid form or a pure form with a higher concentration than 1% available.

Usage and Suitable Products:
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin 1%) is effective in cosmetic formulations for:

  • Reducing inflammation and skin irritation (e.g., from sun exposure, shaving, acne medication, diaper rash).
  • Moisturizing the skin.
  • Stimulating skin cell production (regenerative effect).
  • Reducing allergic reactions caused by immunity (e.g., eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis).

It can be used in various types of products. The recommended usage rate is typically 1-7% of the 1% concentration powder (equivalent to 0.01-0.07% pure Cyanocobalamin). For conditions like Atopic Dermatitis or Psoriasis, a higher rate of up to 7% of the 1% powder may be used.

Important Considerations for Formulation:

  • Vitamin B12 is sensitive to light and should be stored in opaque containers.
  • It is sensitive to pH; the optimal range is 4.0-6.5.
  • Avoid using it with other vitamins like Vitamin C or other B vitamins, as this can affect its stability.
