Science
Mechanism of Action
This complex functions as a water-dispersible delivery system where yeast polypeptides act as carriers, ensuring the B vitamins penetrate deeper into the skin compared to their free forms. Niacinamide (B3) boosts NAD+ levels for energy production, while Folic Acid (B9) and Biotin (B7) facilitate cellular division and protein synthesis, resulting in improved barrier integrity and structural resilience.

Key findings
- 01 In-vitro analysis of the Vitazyme B complex showed a marked increase in cellular energy and improved moisture retention capabilities.
- 02 In-vivo testing demonstrated a 10.8% reduction in wrinkle depth and a 12.9% improvement in skin elasticity over a 28-day period.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because this is a multi-component complex, it is often included at levels below 0.1% for label claims. However, clinical benefits for elasticity and barrier repair are typically observed starting at 0.5% concentration.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly sensitive to UV light (due to Riboflavin) and heat; must be incorporated during the cooling phase below 40-45°C. Formulations should be kept in opaque or UV-protected packaging.
Synergies
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Ceramides
- Antioxidants
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Highly alkaline environments (pH > 7.5)
- Direct UV exposure
Safety
Safety Profile
The polypeptide complexation actually helps to mitigate the potential irritation often associated with concentrated B vitamins like Niacinamide or Riboflavin.
