Elevate your skincare routine with Niacinamide PC Powder, the superior, high-purity form of Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide). Designed specifically for personal care, this "PC" (Personal Care) grade provides all the powerful benefits of standard niacinamide—such as reducing acne, improving elasticity, and fading dark spots—while significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation or uncomfortable flushing. It contains significantly lower levels of residual nicotinic acid compared to standard Niacinamide. Perfect for DIY beauty formulations and suitable for all skin types.
This white, odorless, crystalline powder is highly soluble in water and easily blends into your favorite DIY serums, toners, or lotions. It works by reinforcing the skin barrier, increasing ceramide production, and protecting against environmental pollutants and blue light.
Why Choose Niacinamide PC Powder?
Non-Irritating: The "PC" grade guarantees very low levels of residual nicotinic acid, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Anti-Aging: Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting collagen production.
Brightening & Even Tone: Inhibits the transfer of melanosomes to reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots.
Blemish Control: Regulates sebum production, reducing shine and minimizing pore size.
Formulation Guide:
Usage Rate: 1 – 6% (Recommended: 3–5% for maximum efficacy without irritation).
Mixing Method: Add to the water phase of your formulation or directly into a finished cream/gel base.
pH Range: Stable in formulations with a pH of 4.0 – 8.0.
Compatibility: Works well with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and most active ingredients.
Caution: Do not combine directly with pure L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), as they can cancel each other out or cause temporary flushing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
