Niacinamide: The Multi-Tasking Brightener

Niacinamide: The Multi-Tasking Brightener

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that supports the skin’s natural barrier. It has gained attention in recent years as a multi-functional skincare ingredient.


What are the benefits? (For skin and mind)

Niacinamide helps brighten uneven skin tone, minimize the look of pores, balance oil production, and smooth fine lines. It also supports the skin’s barrier function—perfect for today’s sensitive, reactive skin environments.

When your skin feels healthy and clear, your mind naturally feels more at ease. Niacinamide supports not only your appearance but your emotional relationship with your reflection.


What Japanese foods contain it?

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is found in foods like maguro (tuna), liver, natto (fermented soybeans), and brown rice—all nourishing staples in Japanese cuisine. WALALA reimagines this internal nourishment as outer care for your skin.


How is it used in WALALA products?

At WALALA, niacinamide is a key ingredient in our toner, cream, and face mask. It’s central to our skin-balancing formulations that bring out natural clarity and glow. Carefully blended at effective yet gentle concentrations, it supports even sensitive skin.


Who is it for? (Skin types and situations)

  • Dull or uneven skin tone

  • Enlarged pores or rough texture

  • Skin that becomes unstable with seasonal changes

  • Those seeking both brightness and firmness

Niacinamide is recommended for anyone who wants to strengthen the foundation of their skin—regardless of age or gender.


A natural approach to care (the senses and mindful rituals)

At WALALA, niacinamide is more than just an “ingredient”—it’s a supporter for the balance between skin and soul.

From the smooth texture gliding on your fingers to the warmth of your hands on your cheeks, and the gentle scent in the air—these small, sensory moments matter. When delivered through such mindful rituals, niacinamide becomes part of something deeper.
