Viablife BioNia™ Fermented Niacinamide for Biobased Skincare

Product Overview

Viablife BioNia™ is a fermented niacinamide developed for skincare and prestige cosmetic formulations. Independently validated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as 100% biobased, it is produced from sustainable carbon sources such as glucose and starch through Viablife Biotech's proprietary fermentation technology.

Unlike conventional niacinamide derived from petrochemical materials, BioNia™ provides a fermentation-derived alternative for formulators seeking biobased cosmetic ingredients without compromising purity, formulation flexibility, or sensory performance.

BioNia™ appears as a white powder or particles with an active ingredient content of over 99%. The recommended dosage is 0.5–20%, making it suitable for serums, creams, lotions, and high-end skincare products.

Formulation Notes

When formulating with niacinamide, carefully consider the pH of the formulation to support optimal stability and performance. At higher usage levels, selecting high-quality niacinamide with low residual niacin content and high purity is recommended to minimize the risk of irritation.

Formulators should select appropriate concentrations and compatible ingredients according to the intended skincare function and product requirements.
