GfN Selco Biotin USP

Biotin USP occurs naturally and is also known as vitamin H or skin vitamin. A lack of biotin leads to skin redness and inflammation, flaky skin and an impaired sebum production. It can also cause weak hair growth, hair loss and fragile nails. Biotin USP is ideal for incorporation into effective skin and hair care products such as day and night creams, anti-aging creams, shampoos and conditioners. Use in nail polish is also recommended
