Menthyl nicotinate is a new multifunctional, sensory active ingredient that activates the microcirculation of the skin. It has been proven to be effective as an antioxidant, antipollutant, detoxifying and protective agent.

Nicomenthyl^® is composed of pure MENTHYL NICOTINATE, with no residues of other nicotinates, obtained through a new and exclusive industrial synthesis process developed over 20 years of research at Multichem & Pink Frogs Laboratory in Rozzano (Milan) - Italy.

The skin barrier biochemical mechanisms responsible for defence against endogenous and exogenous damaging agents have been widely researched (1-3). These studies evidenced the fundamental role played by niacin (nicotinic acid or vitamin B3), a precursor of the coenzyme NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
