The detail on SpecWhite VB3
from SpecChem
SpecWhite® VB3 – Niacinamide (nicotinamide) comprises one of the two forms of Vitamin B3; niacin (or nicotinic acid) being the other, both of which provide equivalent vitamin activity. As an essential component of living cells, Vitamin B3 is essential for protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Niacinamide is a precursor in the synthesis of the pyridine coenzymes NAD and NADP involved in cell metabolism, and as such play a key role in the production of energy.
SpecWhite®VB3 provides all the benefits of topical vitamin B3 while minimizing potential unwanted effects such as unpleasant sensations of heat in the skin. These are caused by residual nicotinic acid. SpecWhite®VB3 is guaranteed to contain less than 100 ppm residual nicotinic acid, making it exceptionally suitable for skin care applications.
SpecWhite®VB3 has also been shown to amplify blue light protection in combination with sunscreens and Vitamin E, and to offer protection from air-borne and water-borne pollution. SpecWhite®VB3 is a white, crystalline, odourless powder with a low content of niacin. It is freely soluble in water and in alcohol, soluble in glycerol, and very slightly soluble in ether or chloroform. It is practically stable to air, light, and humidity. It is fairly stable in solutions. Strong acids or alkalis may cause hydrolysis to nicotinic acid.
SpecWhite®VB3 stimulates new collagen synthesis – Collagen, of course being the principal structural protein holding the skin together.
SpecWhite®VB3 upregulates the biosynthesis of epidermal skin lipids – especially Ceramides
It also inhibits the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes, thereby whitening and reducing skin pigmentation
