On January 27, 2026, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially completed the filing and approval of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) as a new cosmetic ingredient. This historic decision not only opens a new compliant pathway for the anti-aging skincare market but also signifies that China’s beauty industry has formally entered a "hardcore skincare" era driven by rigorous science and biotechnology.

1. From "Rising Star Ingredient" to "Compliant Elite": NMN’s Path in Skincare Officially Begins

NMN, as a direct precursor to NAD+ (a key coenzyme in the human body), has long been a focus of life science research due to its potential in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and delaying cellular aging. Previously, its application was largely confined to the dietary supplement category. Now, with the completion of its filing as a cosmetic ingredient by the NMPA, the scientific value of NMN can be compliantly translated into the realm of topical skincare. This means cosmetic companies in China can legally develop and produce skincare products containing NMN, offering consumers a new, cutting-edge, biotechnology-based option for anti-aging. This is not merely the approval of a single ingredient but a powerful catalyst for the industry's shift toward an "evidence-driven" and "precision efficacy" future.

2. SINOWAY NMN: Meeting the New Demands of the Beauty Industry

As the industry stands on the brink of a surge in NMN-based skincare applications, the quality, safety, and stability of the raw material are the critical foundations determining the success of end products. Leveraging our deep expertise in biomanufacturing, SINOWAY has established a comprehensive, high-standard NMN raw material solution, positioning us as the most reliable and advanced partner for brands.

(1) Core Technology: We utilize advanced bio-enzyme technology to ensure our NMN products achieve a purity of over 99.99%, guaranteeing ingredient activity and efficacy from the source.

(2) Stringent QC: Every batch is tested via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), with purity ≥ 99%. Our quality verification network spans globally authoritative third-party labs, including Micro Quality Labs in the USA and Labs Mart in Canada. Furthermore, purity is confirmed at 99% via Hydrogen-1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H-NMR) testing conducted by a third-party lab in Germany, providing dual scientific validation for product identity and purity.

(3) Flexible Application, Compatible with Diverse Formulations: To meet the R&D needs of various product types (e.g., serums, creams, powders, capsules), we offer three different bulk density options for NMN:

Low Density: 0.10 - 0.20 g/ml

Medium Density: 0.30 - 0.35 g/ml

High Density: 0.60 - 0.65 g/ml

This flexibility significantly aids cosmetic engineers in formulation design and process optimization.

(4) Broad Recognition and Safety Assurance:

Our NMN holds Halal and Kosher certifications, meeting the specific requirements of consumers across different cultures and global markets.

Regarding microbiological safety, testing confirms that Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella are Not Detected in our NMN raw material, providing a solid foundation for the safety of the final product.

(5) Stable Supply and Customization Services:

Production Capacity: We possess large-scale production capability with a monthly output of 2-3 tons and maintain a standing inventory of 1-2 tons, enabling us to respond rapidly to market demand and ensure supply chain stability.

CDMO Services: For the specific needs of brand clients, we offer professional Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) services. From customized purity and particle size to complex formulation development, we empower brands to achieve product differentiation and innovation.

3. Moving Forward Together, Defining the New Future of "Scientific Anti-Aging"
