Biotin
Science & Benefits
Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that plays a vital role in the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins within the skin. When applied topically, it acts as a conditioning humectant that enhances the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It is particularly effective at treating 'flaky' or 'scaly' skin often found in patients with seborrheic dermatitis or barrier impairment. Because it is completely non-comedogenic and supports the structural integrity of the epidermis, it helps the skin hold onto moisture more efficiently. It provides a smoothing effect that refines the skin's surface and supports the overall health of the skin microbiome.
