Liposomal Myristyl Nicotinate (Nano-MN™)
Next-Generation Targeted Delivery for Cellular Energy and Barrier Resilience
1. Product Overview
Discover the evolution of Vitamin B3. Liposomal Myristyl Nicotinate represents a breakthrough in both dermatological science and nutricosmetics. By combining the unique lipophilic properties of Myristyl Nicotinate (a prodrug of nicotinic acid) with advanced biomimetic liposomal encapsulation technology, we have engineered an ingredient that overcomes the traditional limitations of Niacinamide—delivering unparalleled skin penetration, zero flushing, and optimal cellular bioavailability.
Designed for formulators who demand clinical-grade efficacy, this raw material bridges the gap between topical cosmetics and advanced nutritional supplementation, acting as a potent precursor for NAD+ biosynthesis.
2. The Science of Delivery: Why Liposomal?
While conventional Niacinamide is water-soluble and struggles to cross the lipid-rich stratum corneum efficiently, Myristyl Nicotinate (MN) is natively lipophilic. We elevate this molecule further by encapsulating it in a nanoscale phospholipid bilayer.
Biomimetic Penetration: The liposome structure mimics human cell membranes, seamlessly merging with the stratum corneum to facilitate deep transdermal delivery.
Enzymatic Activation (The Prodrug Mechanism): Once localized in the viable epidermis, endogenous esterases gradually cleave the myristyl chain, releasing pure Nicotinic Acid directly to the cells.
Sustained Release & "No-Flush" Guarantee: This controlled, enzyme-dependent release eliminates the rapid vasodilation (flushing and redness) typically associated with high-dose nicotinic acid, maximizing efficacy while ensuring absolute sensory comfort.
Protection of Active: The liposomal matrix protects the myristyl ester from premature hydrolysis in complex water-based formulations or harsh gastric environments (for nutricosmetic applications).
3. Key Mechanisms & Efficacy
A. Cellular Energy & NAD+ Boosting
As a direct precursor in the Preiss-Handler pathway, localized release of nicotinic acid significantly elevates intracellular NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) levels. This fuels mitochondrial ATP production, reversing signs of cellular senescence and extending the longevity of skin fibroblasts.
B. Ultimate Barrier Fortification
Unlike standard Vitamin B3, Myristyl Nicotinate exponentially upregulates the synthesis of epidermal ceramides and free fatty acids. It thickens the stratum corneum, significantly reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and restoring compromised skin barriers.
C. Targeted Microcirculation (Hair & Scalp)
By gently stimulating microvascular networks surrounding hair follicles without inflammatory flushing, Liposomal MN increases nutrient and oxygen supply, making it a powerful active for anti-hair loss and scalp rejuvenation systems.
4. Multi-Industry Applications
We offer specific grades tailored for both Cosmetic (Topical) and Food/Nutraceutical (Oral) applications:
Cosmetics & Personal Care:
Advanced Anti-Aging Serums: DNA repair and pro-collagen stimulation.
Barrier Repair Creams: Relief for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-procedure skin.
Scalp Tonics & Shampoos: Energizing the hair follicle and promoting hair density.
Targeted Whitening/Brightening: Inhibiting melanosome transfer with enhanced deep-layer bioavailability.
Nutricosmetics & Functional Foods (Beauty-from-Within):
Liposomal NAD+ Boosters: Oral liquid or softgel formats for systemic cellular energy.
Synergistic Anti-Aging Supplements: Designed to pair with Resveratrol, NMN, or Collagen Peptides, offering higher stability and absorption profiles through liposomal gastro-protection.
