Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, widely used in skincare for its versatility. It’s water-soluble, gentle, and blends easily into lightweight formulas — which is why you’ll find it in our Mozuku Body Oil-Serum.
Where does it come from?
Niacinamide is derived from nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) and is one of the most studied ingredients in modern cosmetic science. It’s produced synthetically for cosmetic use, ensuring a stable, pure, and consistent form for skincare formulas.
Why we use it
We chose niacinamide for its lightweight feel and its reputation as a «team player» ingredient — it works well alongside humectants like glycerin, helping the skin feel smooth, cared for, and comfortable after application.
A staple, not a trend
Niacinamide has been used in skincare for decades. Its popularity isn’t a passing trend — it’s a reflection of how well it fits into simple, everyday routines without complicating them.
