Why We Choose Naturally Derived Niacinamide

Why We Choose Naturally Derived Niacinamide

When it comes to skincare, ingredients matter.

At Indie + Mae, we carefully select every ingredient that goes into our formulations. Just as importantly, we consider how those ingredients are sourced.

That's why we use 100% naturally derived niacinamide in our Clear Skin Serum and Fresh Start Face Cream.

While niacinamide is a well-known skincare ingredient, not all niacinamide is created the same way. Therefore, we choose a naturally derived version sourced from non-GMO plant origins rather than conventionally manufactured alternatives.

What Is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is one of skincare's most versatile ingredients.

It supports a healthy skin barrier while helping skin retain moisture. In addition, niacinamide helps balance excess oil and promotes a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

As a result, niacinamide works well for a wide range of skin types, including oily, combination and sensitive skin.

Why We Use Naturally Derived Niacinamide

At Indie + Mae, we believe effective skincare should align with our values.

For that reason, we source a naturally derived niacinamide that is COSMOS-approved and has a Natural Origin Index of 1.0. This means the ingredient comes entirely from natural sources.

Furthermore, our niacinamide is supplied through a trusted New Zealand ingredient partner. We have also verified that it has not been tested on animals.

Consequently, this ingredient supports our commitment to cruelty-free skincare and responsible ingredient sourcing.

The Benefits of Niacinamide for Skin

Niacinamide offers multiple benefits in a single ingredient.

It helps strengthen the skin barrier, which is essential for healthy-looking skin. At the same time, it supports hydration by helping skin hold onto moisture.

Additionally, niacinamide can help regulate excess oil production. Therefore, it is often used in skincare products designed for blemish-prone skin.

Niacinamide also supports a brighter complexion. Over time, it can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and promote smoother-looking skin.

Because of its gentle nature, niacinamide works well alongside many other skincare ingredients.

Our Commitment to Conscious Formulation

We don't believe you should have to choose between performance and principles. That's why we select ingredients that deliver visible benefits while supporting our commitment to transparency and responsible sourcing.

By choosing naturally derived niacinamide, we can offer the proven benefits of niacinamide while staying true to our values. After all, skincare should care for your skin and the world around it.
