What is niacinamide, really?

Niacinamide – also known as Vitamin B3 – is a water-soluble vitamin that your body needs but can’t produce on its own. It plays a key role in overall skin health, helping to support your skin barrier, regulate oil production, and even reduce inflammation.
 
It’s gentle, versatile, and suitable for nearly every skin type – even the most sensitive. And because it pairs so well with other actives like hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and peptides, it’s often the quiet multitasker working in the background to keep your skin looking its best.

Where does niacinamide come from?

Niacinamide can be found naturally in foods like whole grains, leafy greens, nuts, and legumes. But when it comes to skincare, it’s produced in highly stable, concentrated forms that are safe and effective for topical use.

At BioBalance, we use carefully selected forms of niacinamide to create skincare that works with your skin – not against it. Whether you're easing breakouts, calming redness, or simply boosting brightness, our niacinamide skincare is designed to bring balance and clarity to every routine.

What does niacinamide actually do for your skin?

Think of niacinamide as the skin soother. It works quietly behind the scenes to calm, strengthen, and restore balance – all without irritation.
 
If you’re dealing with enlarged pores, uneven texture, or unwanted shine, niacinamide helps to regulate oil production and refine the appearance of pores. It also supports the skin’s barrier function, locking in hydration and keeping environmental stressors out. Over time, skin looks clearer, calmer, and more even.
 
It’s especially loved by those with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin – but its benefits extend far beyond that. Dry skin? Redness? Dullness? Niacinamide has your back.

We’ve taken this powerhouse ingredient and formulated it into targeted products that slot effortlessly into your daily routine.
 
Start with the BioBalance Niacinamide Cleanser – a gentle, non-stripping formula that refreshes and balances without leaving your skin feeling tight or dry. Follow with our Niacinamide Toner, which helps to calm, prep, and hydrate while refining the look of pores and smoothing texture.
