Methyl nicotinate
INCI Name: Methyl Nicotinate
Methyl nicotinate is known in skincare as an ingredient that increases local blood circulation (a vasodilator). When applied to the skin, it dilates capillaries, thereby enhancing blood flow to the area. This often causes the skin to redden and creates a warming or tingling sensation. This effect stimulates the skin's metabolism and can support skin regeneration.
Due to these properties, methyl nicotinate is commonly used in massage and sports creams, as well as certain anti-cellulite products.
