About
A vitamin B3 (niacinamide) derivative linked to a triphenylphosphonium moiety, designed to deliver niacinamide's skin benefits deeper into the skin with enhanced mitochondrial targeting.
Niacinamidoethyl Triphenylphosphoniumpentamide Chloride is an organic salt combining niacinamide (vitamin B3) with a triphenylphosphonium cation via a pentamidoethyl linker. The triphenylphosphonium group confers lipophilicity and mitochondrial accumulation. This ingredient is designed to leverage the well-established benefits of niacinamide (anti-inflammatory, barrier support, evening of skin tone) while the phosphonium moiety may enhance cellular uptake and mitochondrial targeting.
