About

Nicotinyl Tartrate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Nicotinyl tartrate is the acid salt of nicotinic acid (niacin) combined with tartaric acid. Niacinamide and niacin derivatives are widely used in cosmetics for skin brightening, reducing transepidermal water loss, and supporting barrier function. Niacin itself is not restricted under EU cosmetics regulation. The tartrate salt form is used to improve stability and reduce flushing associated with nicotinic acid. At cosmetic use concentrations, it is considered safe and well-tolerated.
