Vitamin B family including Bl,The relationship between vitamin B family and skin health Articles B2, B3, B4, B7 (biotin) and the panthenol, these vitamins have important effects on the skin metabolism.

Vitamin B2 can help skin resist sunlight damage, if the body lacks of vitamin B2, skin will more sensitive to sunlight, easy to show up solar dermatitis, under the sun for a long time, face will redness and itching, appear something like powder around the nose. Use skin care products that contain vitamin B2 have better preventive effect for people prone to rough skin.

Vitamin B3 for the injured cells or skin has good recovery effect, also can inhibit the formation of skin melanin. This performance determined the vitamin B3 has good prospects for cosmetics. Three manifestations of the vitaminB3’s whitening efficacy: promoting protein synthesis of the epidermis, enhance skin moisture content, thus improving skin levels; accelerate skin metabolism, promote melanin-containing skin cells fall off, maintaining cells balance at the same time, showing the young state; inhibit melanin transfer from melanocytes to the protein cells, reduce pigment depositing.

The cosmetic effect of vitamin b3 had been proven in clinical trials, use moisturizer containing vitamin b3 can significantly reduce the area and the number of brown spots on the skin, dilute the stain color with the naked eye can distinguish. It is visible that vitamin b3 is a multi-effect ingredient can act on the inner layer and the surface of skin whitening at the same time.

Panthenol also known as the original vitamin B5, through absorbed by the skin can deep penetrate into the skin. Panthenol as a precursor of pantothenic acid, plays an important role in the physiological processes of the skin. Panthenol was widely used in all kinds of cosmetics, cosmetics containing panthenol can activate epithelial cells, have significant anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect. Vitamin B5 for the treatment of skin shallow’s wound healing, burns, chapped, corneal injury, ulcerative skin diseases and skin allergies is very effective.

Vitamin B6 is closely related to the healthy skin, is part of many enzymes and molecular structure of coenzymes. Vitamin B6 can use for the prevention and treatment of rough skin, acne, sunburn, itching and sun tanning, can also be used for the prevention and treatment of seborrheic skin inflammation, general acne, dry seborrheic dermatitis eczema and skin changes of falling debris. Vitamin B6 modified into the form of a palmitate used as cosmetics material, can control oily skin.

Vitamin B7, also known as biotin, can promote skin metabolism, improve rough skin, prevent skin seborrheic eczema, the polymorphs acne (acne), can be directly used for the treatment of skin disease. There are already have some patents about biotin used in cosmetics, biotin supplier can further develop to apply it in skin care research. Biotin is required for the growth of bacteria, plants and animals, and seems to have a close contact with the cell formation process. The bacteria and fungi are able to synthesize biotin, stored in the liver, kidney, heart, and adrenal.

Skin lesion is one of the most typical symptoms of lacking biotin, especially seborrheic dermatitis and desquamation disease. Although topical use biotin has no apparent effect, but the active component between modern cosmetics synergies may have closely related, mixed with other active ingredients such as plant extracts, perhaps can play an unexpected role.

Biotin is a white crystalline compound, slightly soluble in water and alcohol, but insoluble in oil. It is stable to light and heat in the solution of pH 4 ~ 8, if exist oxidants it will be inactivated. It is easy to soluble in a dilute solution of the alkaline oxide, and easily added to cosmetics in this manner.
