Fermented Niacinamide
Fermented niacinamide is an advanced form of vitamin B3 produced through biotechnology. Compared with conventional niacinamide, fermentation can reduce impurities such as nicotinic acid, making it a gentler option for sensitive skin while delivering the well-known benefits of niacinamide, including support for the skin barrier, more even skin tone and improved hydration.
What is fermented niacinamide?
Fermented niacinamide helps even skin tone, reduce visible imperfections including hyperpigmentation and balance sebum.
How is fermented niacinamide made?
Fermented niacinamide is produced using biotechnology, where microorganisms are used in carefully controlled fermentation processes to produce or refine the ingredient. Compared with some conventional production methods, fermentation can reduce unwanted by-products such as nicotinic acid while improving purity, making fermented niacinamide particularly suitable for sensitive skin.
Biotechnology enables ingredients to be developed with greater precision and consistency. By using fermentation, it is possible to create high-quality ingredients while reducing reliance on traditional manufacturing methods. This approach aligns with Bioli's philosophy of developing skincare that is effective, gentle on the skin, and designed with environmental impact in mind.
Why is fermented niacinamide different?
Fermentation reduces nicotinic acid, making it gentler on the skin than conventional niacinamide.
What are the benefits for the skin?
Fermented niacinamide is a multifunctional skincare ingredient that supports overall skin health. It offers many of the well-documented benefits of conventional niacinamide while being particularly suitable for sensitive skin due to its improved purity.
Fermented niacinamide can:
- Even skin tone and help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory marks.
- Reduce visible imperfections by helping to regulate excess sebum and support clearer-looking skin.
- Strengthen the skin barrier, helping reduce moisture loss and improve the skin's resilience.
- Boost hydration by supporting the skin's natural ability to retain moisture.
- Soothe the skin and help reduce the appearance of redness associated with irritation.
- Improve overall skin texture, leaving the skin looking smoother and more balanced.
With regular use, fermented niacinamide helps promote a healthier, stronger and more even-looking complexion.
Who is fermented niacinamide suitable for?
Fermented niacinamide is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for skin prone to uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, excess oil or a weakened skin barrier. Thanks to its improved purity and lower levels of nicotinic acid, fermented niacinamide is often better tolerated than conventional niacinamide.
Can fermented niacinamide be used every day?
Yes. Fermented niacinamide is gentle enough for daily use and can typically be applied both morning and evening. It works well alongside hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and peptides, making it suitable for everyday skincare routines.
Why does Bioli use fermented niacinamide?
At Bioli, we choose ingredients based on three criteria: efficacy, skin compatibility and environmental impact. Fermented niacinamide aligns with this philosophy by combining the proven benefits of niacinamide with biotechnology that can improve purity while supporting more resource-efficient production methods.
What is the difference between niacinamide and fermented niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a well-established form of vitamin B3 widely used in skincare. Fermented niacinamide undergoes an additional biotechnology-based fermentation process using microorganisms. This process can reduce impurities such as nicotinic acid, resulting in a purer ingredient that may be better tolerated by sensitive skin while maintaining the same well-known skincare benefits.
