The special grade of vitamin B3—now better than ever DSM is well-known for having pioneered Niacinamide PC, a form of vitamin B3, for use in cosmetic applications. Since its launch, Niacinamide PC  has become extremely popular because of its remarkable efficacy.   With the development of DSM’s Niacinamide PC, customers can benefit from a topical vitamin B3 while minimizing potential unwanted effects such as unpleasant sensations of heat on the skin caused by residual nicotinic acid. DSM’s branded vitamin B3 Niacinamide PC is guaranteed to contain less than 100 ppm residual nicotinic acid, making it exceptionally well-tolerated. And—Vitamin B3 still has the power to surprise!   Recent proprietary research by DSM revealed that Niacinamide PC could prove a powerful ally in the latest challenges facing the beauty industry: environmental pollution and the ubiquitous blue light.
