Niacinamide Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in India
Niacinamide, also known as Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble, heat-stable cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredient widely used in skincare, haircare, personal care and nutritional formulations. It functions as a precursor to the coenzymes NAD⁺ and NADP⁺ involved in cellular energy metabolism, and in topical use is valued for supporting the skin barrier, helping even out visible tone, assisting oil regulation and improving overall formulation stability. Unlike niacin (nicotinic acid), niacinamide does not cause the characteristic "niacin flush," which makes it well tolerated at topical concentrations. Chemsynth India is a trusted Niacinamide Supplier & Exporter in India, providing quality Niacinamide raw material with reliable supply, technical documentation and export support.
Niacinamide is valued for its excellent compatibility across cosmetic formulations including serums, creams, lotions, moisturizers, toners, sunscreens and shampoos. It remains effective across a range of pH levels and is generally well tolerated, including by sensitive skin, making it one of the most widely formulated actives in modern skincare. It is also used in pharmaceutical and nutritional applications due to its stable properties and broad industrial acceptance.

Formulation Notes
Niacinamide is typically dissolved into the water phase of a formulation and is generally added below around 70°C to limit unnecessary heat exposure. Because prolonged storage at low pH can gradually hydrolyse niacinamide to nicotinic acid, most formulators keep finished products within roughly pH 5.0-7.0 for stability and skin compatibility. It is broadly compatible with other common cosmetic actives, though final compatibility, stability and preservation should always be confirmed through the formulator's own stability testing.
