Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin, vitamin B12 for skin care

Cyanocobalamin is the stable form of vitamin B12, a dark red crystalline powder with the INCI Cyanocobalamin. In cosmetics it is valued as a vitamin ingredient and for the soft pink color it gives to creams and serums. This listing is a cosmetic grade raw material for topical products only. Buy it from a 10 g trial pack for $9.99 and scale up to bulk packs up to 1 kg.

Cosmetic uses

Vitamin B12 appears in creams, masks, balms, serums and tonics positioned for a soothed, comfortable skin feel, and in hair cosmetics. Only very small amounts are needed, often well under 0.1%, and even these tint a product pink.

Vitamin pairings

Combine it with niacinamide, vitamin B3, in a vitamin serum, or with D-panthenol, pro-vitamin B5, in a comfort cream. More vitamins and actives are in our cosmetic actives section.

Processing
