Functional and conditioning ingredient
NIACINAMIDE · VITAMIN B3
A form of vitamin B3 used widely in skin-conditioning and tone-care cosmetics. Ingredient presence and a product’s registered functional-brightening status are separate facts.
WHAT IT MEANS
Niacinamide can be used in toners, essences, lotions and creams. Products containing it can still differ in amount, complete formula and texture, so the ingredient name alone does not determine feel or functional status.
Listed in the functional ingredient information for the All-in-One Lotion and Whitening Tone Care Cream.
INGREDIENT NOTES
Start with what the name means, then see what was actually verified on the product label.
Niacinamide is a vitamin B3 ingredient used in many cosmetic formats, including toners, essences, lotions and creams. Its presence can be verified when Niacinamide appears on the complete ingredient list.
That presence alone does not make every formula a Korean functional brightening cosmetic. The finished product’s registered or reviewed functional status must be checked separately in its product information.
For a general cosmetic, niacinamide can be described as an ingredient used to help condition skin and maintain a smooth feel.
When a finished product’s functional brightening status is verified, the description can follow that product’s registered wording. The two levels of wording should not be mixed or extended to an unverified formula.
If functional status has not been verified, state only that the product contains niacinamide.
No. A product’s feel is not determined by niacinamide percentage alone. pH, supporting moisturisers, texture, accompanying ingredients and individual skin condition also matter.
The reviewed labels for these two products do not disclose a niacinamide percentage. This site therefore does not calculate an amount from ingredient order or assign results from 2% or 5% test formulas to these products.
