About
A stable salt complex of niacinamide and ascorbic acid combining skin-brightening and antioxidant benefits in a single, well-tolerated cosmetic ingredient.
Niacinamide ascorbate is an ionic salt of niacinamide (vitamin B3) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), designed to deliver both actives simultaneously with improved stability compared to free ascorbic acid. Neither component is restricted under EU cosmetic regulations, and the salt form is generally better tolerated on sensitive skin than the free acids. It is considered safe across rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formulations.
