Biotin (Vitamin H)
INCI Name: Biotin
Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, is valued in skincare for its role in promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails. It supports cell regeneration, which can lead to improved skin texture and resilience. Biotin enhances the skin barrier function, helping to retain moisture and protect against dryness.
