    Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) CAS 98-92-0

    Nicotinamide (CAS 98-92-0), chemically identified as pyridine-3-carboxamide, is the biologically active amide form of Vitamin B3 functioning as a versatile skin conditioning agent and essential nutrient in cosmetic skin care formulation and animal nutrition. This white crystalline powder, widely technically recognized as Niacinamide or Vitamin PP, serves as a potent cell-communicating ingredient to improve skin barrier function and reduce hyperpigmentation without the vasodilation (flushing) side effect associated with Nicotinic Acid. We provide bulk supply of this USP/Cosmetic grade ingredient with competitive factory pricing to empower personal care brands and feed millers. Our production ensures low nicotinic acid residue, making MSDS, TDS, COA available alongside customized specifications to meet high-purity whitening or feed premix standards.

    Applications

    1. Food & Beverage Industry
      • Used as a nutritional fortifier in flour, cereals, dairy products, beverages and health foods.
      • Helps maintain normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
    2. Feed Industry
      • Applied in premixes and complete feeds for poultry, swine, ruminants and aquaculture.
      • Supports growth performance, feed conversion and animal health.
    3. Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals
      • Used in tablets, capsules and oral liquid formulations as Vitamin B complex component.
      • Suitable for OTC and dietary supplement products targeting energy, nerve and skin health.
    4. Cosmetics & Personal Care
      • Widely used in skin-care formulations such as creams, lotions, serums and masks.
      • Helps improve skin barrier function, even skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
      • Compatible with most emulsions and water-based systems.
    5. Other Uses
      • Intermediate in certain chemical and biochemical syntheses.
      • Used in functional formulations requiring stable, water-soluble vitamin additives.

    Storage Conditions

    • Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse.
    • Keep away from heat sources, moisture and direct sunlight.
    • Keep the package tightly closed after opening to avoid caking and contamination.
    • Recommended storage temperature: below 25 °C and relative humidity < 65%.
    • Use on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and avoid long-term open storage.

    Safety Precautions

    • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) is generally considered safe in normal industrial use and approved limits, but:
      • Avoid creating dust clouds; use local exhaust ventilation where necessary.
      • Operators should wear appropriate PPE: dust mask, safety glasses and gloves.
    • Inhalation: Move to fresh air, rinse mouth with water if necessary. Seek medical advice if discomfort persists.
    • Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation continues.
    • Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if large quantities are swallowed.
    • Follow local regulations for waste disposal and spill clean-up (collect spilled material, avoid discharge into drains).

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      How is Nicotinamide (CAS 98-92-0) chemically distinguished from Niacin (Nicotinic Acid)?

      A: Chemically, Nicotinamide involves the replacement of the hydroxyl group of Niacin with an amide group ; this structural modification prevents the skin flushing and irritation commonly caused by the acidic nature of Niacin, making Nicotinamide the preferred form for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
    • Q:

      Is this ingredient compatible with acidic formulations containing Vitamin C?

      A: While Nicotinamide is generally stable, it is intended to be formulated within a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0; under highly acidic conditions (low pH) or high heat, it may hydrolyze back into Nicotinic Acid, which can cause skin irritation, so careful pH buffering is recommended when combining with acids.
