Vitamin B3 Pore Refining Serum
Vitamin B3 Pore Refining Serum
A cold-process, manufacture-ready brightening and barrier-support serum built around Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Centella Asiatica, and Bearberry Extract — a formula designed to visibly even and calm the look of skin while staying simple enough to produce without heat-phase manufacturing.
You Own This Formula
When you purchase this formula, the intellectual property is yours. Unlike most private-label or white-label manufacturing relationships — where the manufacturer holds the formula and you're locked into using them — you can take this formula to any GMP-certified manufacturer, anywhere in the world, at any stage of your brand's growth.
This means if your manufacturer changes their pricing, minimum order quantities, or can no longer produce your product, your brand isn't at risk. You're never dependent on one supplier to keep making the product your customers know and trust. Owning your formula outright is rare — and normally an expensive, custom development process. Here, it's built in.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — a well-established multi-tasking active that supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion while helping reinforce the skin barrier.
- Bearberry Extract — a natural source of brightening compounds, included to support the formula's even-tone positioning.
- Licorice Extract — a traditional brightening botanical, well recognised for supporting a more even-looking skin tone.
- Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract — a calming, barrier-repairing botanical with strong consumer recognition and trend relevance in skincare.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — hydrates and soothes, balancing the brightening actives so the formula stays comfortable on skin.
- Filipendula Ulmaria (Meadowsweet) Extract — a soothing, clarifying botanical that supports the overall calming profile of the serum.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — a peptide developed to help relax the look of expression lines, adding an anti-ageing dimension to the formula.
- Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Vanilla & Lavender — a warm, soft natural fragrance blend that rounds out the sensory experience.
Texture & What to Expect
A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum with a soft, warm natural scent and no sticky residue — layers cleanly under moisturiser or makeup. Niacinamide and Bearberry Extract work together for a brighter, more even-looking complexion, while Centella Asiatica and Panthenol keep the skin feeling calm and comfortable.
Why This Formula
Developed by a qualified cosmetic chemist with hands-on formulation and manufacturing experience, built on proven, widely-used actives with published efficacy data — not assembled from generic templates.
Building a formula like this from scratch — sourcing the right actives, balancing percentages, testing phase compatibility, and writing a manufacture-ready process — typically takes a qualified chemist many hours of dedicated work, and commissioning custom formulation development independently can cost $2,500 or more. This formula gives you that same level of expertise, ready to take straight to your manufacturer, at a fraction of the cost and time.
Claims Substantiation
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — one of the most widely published cosmetic actives, with strong data supporting brightening, barrier support, and visible tone-evening benefits.
- Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract — established in published literature for calming and barrier-repair properties.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — a widely studied peptide associated with a reduction in the appearance of expression lines through relaxation of repeated micro-muscle contraction.
This formula is built on proven, widely-used actives with established efficacy data — giving you a credible, science-backed foundation to bring to your manufacturer. As with any new formulation, we recommend Preservative Efficacy Testing (PET) and stability testing on your specific production batch — a standard step every brand takes before commercial launch.
This Formula Includes
- Full INCI ingredient list, in percentage order

Ingredients are internationally available — no region-restricted actives — so you can take this straight to any GMP-certified manufacturer, anywhere, and start production.
