What formulations are you planning on adding niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to?
Sheet masks, love making them 😀
Oil free facial moisturiser @ 5%, it makes a marked difference and feels lovely on the finish. Great post (as usual) easy to watch and listen to, easy to absorb information and communicated for the average Joe with the perfect amount of cosmetic tech talk for those that know.
After looking at blog, idk. Rt now, giving plum oil a go in my conditioners. It has very positive rates for absorption on hair follicles.. we shall see.. if it does. Next is scent. Color?? Ahhhh pale purple blue. Undecided about products. I've taken your ideas, my ideas, thrown them around. Now trying them.x fingers I don't trash to many.
All else fails. I'll add oatmeal, use it on my pomeranian.. :)
I have started a small cosmetics business and want to make a lip lighting balm can you plz help me
Serum
PENETRATION is a really big factor when making claims about niacinamide. Studies have showed poor natural penetration of niacinamide through stratum corneum ( around 9% only). Unless we target the superficial layer of the skin, we should use penetration enhancers ( phospholipis system, vesicular systems or proper solubilizers like dimethyl isosorbide, pentylene glycol or ethoxydiglycol) to get real benefits of this ingredient. At a close analyse of the INCI list, we can see that respected brands follow this principle when formulating with niacinamide. Unfortunately, the above mentioned helpers are all much more expensive then the niacinamide itself. without them, a niacinamide cosmetic product is more for marketing claims.
I've been using Dimethyl Isosorbide in my own Niacinamide serums for many years for penetration enhancement. Squalane and Propanediol are said to enhance penetration as well.
@indigo + shea thank you ladies...where do we buy these other ingredients and in what ratios should they be used. Thank you
Does butylene glycol help in better penetration of niacinamide. The serum I like a lot has only butylene glycol.
is it okay to use Propylene Glycol cuz i find other substitute?
Isopropyl myristate, glycerine, propylene glycol will also help in penetration of niacinamide
Thanks Marie , I learned a lot from you the past 2 years , all respect and love from Barcelona -Spain
Thanks for the great informative video Marie. Excellent that you have links to the other resources for info on pH etc in the description in your encyclopedia - it is always the first place I look when doing research on ingredients. I made your Brightening Hyaluronic Acid & Niacinamide Facial Serum a few weeks ago and love it ( I just made it a tad more viscous ). My 'dupe on the Green Tea Face Cream is still my favorite of all your face creams and I now add the Niacinamide (4.5%) at cool-down and it dissolves just fine doing this way too. My skin has improved so much since I started using your formulations about a year ago. Cheers :)
Love this video! Very detailed and helpful! 💗 I'll be definitevly making something with niacinamide.
Love how this video was presented and the amount of research that has gone in! Well done Marie keep it up
Thank you so much!
OMG you’re truly the Best!!! Regards from DR 🇩🇴
I use this in my serum I do work with this one good job I don’t think anyone has done a deep dive on this one
Yay, Marie, super! And superlicious formulas ;)
10% niacinamide is too much for some folks, so if someone doesn't like The Ordinary's serum, they will probably like niacinamide at 3%-5%. :) Anyway, LOVE the toner mist after 9 months of daily use, made in 8oz batch sizes. Using it as a mask for ~5 days puts it in fast-forward and fades any new hyperpigmentation to nearly gone (sheet mask, or 2% xanthan gum soft for a no-waste jelly mask). Currently using a batch with 1:2 strawberry:peppermint hydrosols, yum! The moisturizing repair cream is heaven on my moderately damaged hands. I made a no-niacinamide version for my sister's severely damaged hands using ceramides, allantoin, and B5. (My understanding is that if your skin barrier is in bad bad bad shape, B3 and many other actives can be irritating [my sister's skin was so damaged that the original formula gave her a burning sensation], but it's great for moderate to mild barrier damage.) And I've been using the green tea face cream for 10 months and enjoying making fun variations. My favorite is blueberry seed oil and blueberry extract. It has a soft scent without any FO or EO. I'm planning to try a turmeric version sometime soon. I choose to use my niacinamide at bedtime. Waking is for salicylic acid and vitamin C because they work best at a pH of 3-4. Sleep is for niacinamide and retinoids, where their higher pH won't interfere with my BHAs/C. At first I was worried that reducing niacinamide from twice daily to once daily would let my hyperpigmentation come back, but it has been just as effective once daily!
I just bought a vit C serum today and noticed yesterday that my day serum contains niacinamide. So, according to your regime I have a night and morning serum routine! Thanks!
Amazing video I cant wait to try it. I am currently making 3 different orders for Moisturizing shampoo bars and ive been messing with the colors of the bars to where it looks marbled. when they are done ill send some photos.
wow Marie! I like how this video was presented. No-nonsense, and you packed a lot in just a few minutes!!!
Thank you so much, Kristine! ❤️
If you haven't had a chance to check them out, the rest of the ingredient deep dives I've shared this year are similarly structured & info-packed 😃
@@HumblebeeAndMe Will def check those out. 👌 Thanks as well! I'm learning a lot from your videos
great as always thank you so much ♥️🌹
Love your channel ❤Thank you so much 😍
TY Marie !!! Brilliant as always!!! Do you know if all the ingredients you mentioned are ok to use in an organic skin care range?
Thanks, Marie. That was very informative 👍
Love from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Thank you so much, Firdows ❤️
Great informative Video....wonderful Marie...you are on fire!
Thank you so much!
Loved your deep dive so my point of view or suggestion is do deep dive about ingredients in each category so it will be very useful to students like me who are studying by themself thank you mam
Thanks for the education.
Marie is this a natural product? I am amazed at the extensive range of knowledge you have and how you share and so fabulous at talking about all these products. So generous and thanks 🙏🏻
I'd consider this natural, and it's accepted in natural formulation, but "natural" is a rather messy term :) I recommend reading these posts to learn more:

Thanks for watching & happy making!
Hi Marie! I love your videos and website! I watched that you added nicainamide to the water phase (example:green tea face cream), but in other videos you added it cold phase. I would be very grateful if you could clarify this situation. Thanks 🙏🏼😊
You can do both :)
Proud subscriber would like to see you team up with Ariane and make a good ole Niacinamide+Licorice powder cp soap and an oil-free moisturizer. Love you both! Thank you
This presentation is so amazing 👏🏼
Thank you so much! ❤️
perfect I really appritiate all of your efforts in all of your videos thank you so much
Glad you like them! ❤️
Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on TH-cam since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my totally free ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing video 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I love you girl, your videos are amazing
Thank you so much!!
Your my teacher mam.....i learned so much information from u mam...by the way I wants to learn courses from u mam
I once put a small amount of niacinamide on my hand and mixed it directly with cream. I don't know if I felt the effects well, but I can use it like this! This time, I have seen many cases of putting niacin in the shampoo bar in the market and found that niacin is used as a hair conditioner ingredient. I'm going to put it in the shampoo bar!
She said in this video that there's no point putting it into a wash off product. Better to put the niacinamide in a leave in conditioner.
Your online database is GOLD . Use it often. Any books u recommend 2 have on hand?.
Also I have a cream that my customer s low its a w/o emulsion...it's niacinamide ok 2 be heated n my heated water phase?
Please can you do one of this chapters talking about Guar gum? Nobody talks about it,,,how or why is xantana better or not, and in which products Guar Gum would be a better alternative. Thanks and greetings from Southamerica 🌹🌹🌹💥🥰
It works. Not same formulation.. but using it 7 days
.lines now finer not so deep
I’ve had great success with using niacinamide with a final pH of around 4.52 which I submitted in my final project for formula botanica citing several sources for keeping the pH lower, however they counted my project off for this. They wouldn’t accept any pH submissions with niacinamide below 5.6 claiming their cosmetic chemist says it will not be effective blow this pH.
That is so disappointing, especially since I can point to (and I'm sure you did as well) very well-written articles from two other cosmetic chemists making exactly the opposite point :/ And it's not even about efficacy-it's about degradation. Booo :(
Hello, many thanks for your video. Can I use Niacinamide with Kojic Dipalmitate?
Hi HumbleBee & Me, where do you purchase your narrow rubber spatulas. Also if different ingredients have different ph requirements what should the final ph be? Thank you in advance💖💖
Love it 🌈😇
You look beautiful Marie,thanks for the información
mam plz can u also share about Glutathione, Ceramides, peptides, salicylic acid, kojic acid...
I love the formulation on excel. I can understand how to make my sheabutter
I'm inspired by one of your recent recipes to formulate a skin barrier supporting/repairing skin cream (you used panthenol, allantoin, sodium lactate, & a rather large oil phase in that formula), and I'm interested in adding a little NAG specifically for barrier repair, and I don't need much to convince me to use it anyway (it's super affordable at a vendor I'm going to purchase from anyway, easy to use, not pH fussy so I don't need to buy special equipment for it at this time unlike with niacinamide). However, I am a smidge frustrated that dermatologists, formulators, or other credible figures are not talking about why NAG helps with barrier repair; I've only ever seen focus on pigmentation improvement (always in the shadow of niacinamide) & the only mention of skin barrier repair is from the vendor who would sell it to me. I am convinced that it is great for skincare, it's a sugar which generally indicates a humectant, and a potent antioxidant that I hear is used in the ER for other reasons, but I feel conflicted about getting hyped over something I don't solidly understand. I've found your post about researching ingredients quite helpful, but I'm still struggling on this one. Have you come across any mentions?
I love niacinamide and nag combo by far my favorite! Why is this combo so underrated?
@@dupeit007 during the pandemic they pulled NAG supplements off the shelf at Amazon, there might be some lingering reluctance to promote it
What do you find most awesome about the combo? What's your experience working with these actives?
What can you say about semi white, Giga white and Snow White powders?
Is there a way to add Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin to homemade tallow balm? Thanks!
how can you use yucca powder to make hair shampoo with essential oil?
Would it be possible to guide us in making an effective 20% vitamin C serum with l absorbic powder that won’t oxidize? Is ferulic acid needed? Thank you so much for all the effort, time and care that you include in all of your videos 🦋
I'll keep it in mind-thanks for the suggestion!
Love the video! I have a question about formulating a specific product: heat protectant spray for hair. I looked on your website and couldn't find any information (so sorry if I missed it!). Could you please share a recipe with us? Thanks!
This is an excellent idea! I would love a heat protectant spray recipe
Silicones are great for haircare products cause they're mostly volatile and don't weigh the hair down, you can find heat protectant ones.
i really wanna try making some!!
Hi what's the name of that long transparent object you're using to stir the mixture
I didn’t have to read about mixing niacinamide and vitamin C to know it burns 🥵 I experienced it first hand 2021 when I started skin care routine
Hi, you did a video and article about vegetal oil and how subtitutes them with each other, would you be intersted in making one about swaping mineral oils for vegetal oil ?
I almost never work with mineral oils, so this isn't something that interests me. Thanks for watching!
can i use Niacinamide along with shea butter as leave on night cream
If it is okay with you, can you please recommend some books about cosmetic ingredients (like that red one you were reading in the beginning if the vid) ?

Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thank You❣️❣️❣️☮️💟🐝

Hi, could i mix niacinamide with aloe vera cream as it seems to be water based and i have a big tub of it! Thank you!
Love your videos Marie! Can i add niacinamide in Melt and pour? Thanks
Hi Sheryl! As I say in the video, I do not recommend putting niacinamide (Vitamin B3)in rinse-off products like soap-it's a bit of a waste as it won't do anything for the skin that way. Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe thank you Marie!!!
How to measure the niacinamide when we mix in the soap?
We used to prescribe Niacin to help lower cholesterol and/or triglycerides. Not much success. Reason. Would cause flushing in skin. Most thought to uncomfortable. So they'd discontinue use.
Now decades later to watch same thing being added into skin care formulations . It's interesting
Niacin is not being added to skin care formulations; niacinamide is, and they aren't the same thing :) Niacinamide doesn't cause flushing.
Hello Marie, i had an issue with niacinamide formulations , it goes yellowish over time the formula doesn't have anything for niacinamide to interact with , its just niacinamide , distilled water and preservative , i tried to replace preservative but the problem goes on and the ph is adjusted properly , i also tried to change the source i bought it from , what could be causing this problem ? And is this color change anything harmful ?
Hola,te sigo desde Uruguay,me gustaría saber como formular un sérum al 5%de niacinamida,que cantidad debo poner,no estoy muy seguro.Muchas gracias! Saludos!

hi marie! ive followed you since 2019 (from México) and i wanted to know, does niacinamide can be used to clear "manchas en la piel"? (i think its said "spots" or "hyperpigmentation")
probaste con hidroquinona? siempre es fundamental el uso de protector solar ante todo, sino no habra quitamanchas que te las saque, pues volveran!!
Please can I combine MAP with Niacinamide?
Can i just open a capsule and mix it with some coconut oil and rub on? Any benefit there?
Can i combine niacinamide and tranexamic acid
Mam can we add Salicyclic Acid in it instead of Niacinamide?
Can I use Kojic acid with niacinamide?
i use it its dry the skin my skin is oily
❤️❤️

Do you share your excel formulator file somewhere on your website? The file you use in this video at 3:46
I don't, but I teach you how to build it yourself here:

Thank you for this..but i dont have niacinamide powder? But i have it as niacinamide tables 500 for internal or intake use as a vitamin supplement...can i grind it and use and mix with all recipes us explained above ..and use on skin.
Don't do that.
Use Cosmetic Niacinamide only.
Thanks for this video, I’ve really been wanting to know how to use niacinamide. Where can I purchase the niacinamide powder?
Thanks for watching!
I have a giant page of specialty places to shop all over the world, which you can find here: www.humblebeeandme.com/resources/. I recommend going through the shops there that are in your country (and failing that, ones that ship to your country). Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is fairly easy to find :)
If you can't find anything there, you could try looking for a local Facebook group for people who like making soap & other cosmetics-they may be able to recommend local places to shop.
Καλημέρα🌝⏰.. Σε παρακολουθω από Ελλάδα αλλά δεν ξέρω καλά Αγγλικά, μήπως θα μπορούσες να βάλεις ελληνικους υπότιτλους γιατί είναι η μοναδική γλώσσα που δεν έχει στο μενού μετάφραση, σε ευχαριστώ πολυ .
How many grams is equal to 5% of niacinamide
Is niacinamide decreases the viscosity of face wash while formulating
It shouldn't, but surfactant formulation is a big quagmire of "it depends", so it isn't impossible. I'd suspect your fragrance or EO first, though :)
I have a personal question to ask. Kindly reach out to me.
Kudo's dear. That's beautiful
❤️
Is that all information exist in your book
Is NIACINAMIDE for all skin types??
Yes.
Thanks but it's cause rashes for me I don't know why?
Can we use it in soap?
No point since something momentarily on the skin won’t do much. She mentioned it should be on a “leave on” product for this very reason.
But some facial foam in my country use niacinamide 🤨
Oh man. Who's Greater than Tom Cruise!
