Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, provides various potential advantages for hair health:

Promotes Hair Growth: By encouraging keratin production, niacinamide strengthens hair follicles and supports healthy hair growth.

Stimulates Blood Circulation: Niacinamide widens blood vessels, enhancing scalp circulation to deliver essential nutrients for improved hair growth.

Nourishes the Scalp: Its moisturizing properties hydrate the scalp, maintaining its barrier function and preventing dryness or itching.

Regulates Sebum Production: Balancing sebum levels promotes a healthier scalp environment, reducing scalp issues like dandruff.

Strengthens the Hair Shaft: Enhances hair elasticity and resilience to reduce breakage and damage.

Reduces Hair Thinning: Anti-inflammatory properties can help with scalp inflammation linked to hair loss, promoting thicker hair growth.

Improves Texture and Shine: Smoothes the hair cuticle, enhancing shine and manageability.

Protects Against Environmental Damage: Antioxidant properties shield hair and scalp from UV damage and free radicals, maintaining hair health and preventing premature aging.

Incorporating niacinamide into your hair care routine can enhance hair growth, support scalp health, and protect against environmental damage, offering a versatile option for healthier hair.

Niacinamide is safe on the hair and scalp when used at the recommended levels.

Niacinamide is an organic, natural, vitamin found in many plants and vegetables.
