Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a fundamental role in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair processes. In cosmetic formulations, NAD+ is valued for its ability to support cellular regeneration, enhance mitochondrial function in skin cells, and provide potent antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. Formulators choose NAD+ for its scientifically-backed anti-aging properties, though it requires careful formulation due to its sensitivity to pH and oxidative conditions, and is typically used in premium skincare products targeting cellular rejuvenation and age-related skin concerns.
