Niagen Bioscience Debuts Skincare Innovation Lab

Niagen Bioscience, Inc., a leader on NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) with a focus on the science of healthy aging, has launched Niagen Skincare Innovation Lab.

The new product innovation platform aims to translate the company’s leadership in NAD+ science into “category-defining” skincare, officials said.

Debuting under the platform is Niagen NanoCloud. The limited-release, dermatologist-tested topical skincare product is powered by Niagen Bioscience’s flagship ingredient, Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside, or NR).

“Niagen Skincare Innovation Lab is a strategic step into exploring how Niagen can extend into new consumer categories,” said Rob Fried, CEO of Niagen Bioscience. “With Niagen NanoCloud, we are introducing our first topical prototype in a format designed to protect potency, generate consumer insight, and help inform future product development.”

The launch marks Niagen Bioscience’s entry into the global skincare category, which Fortune Business Insights valued at $122.11 billion in 2025 with a reported projected growth to $227.13 billion by 2034. Within that broader opportunity, the global anti-aging cosmetics market was estimated at $60.11 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $106.98 billion by 2035, per Precedence Research. The global topical NAD+ product market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2025 to 2030.

Addressing a Core Challenge in NAD+ Skincare

Niagen NanoCloud is the inaugural release from the Niagen Skincare Innovation Lab. The Innovation Lab was designed to address a core challenge in NAD+ skincare: water-based NAD+ and precursor products on the market can degrade rapidly, long before they ever reach the skin, because the molecules are unstable in water. The Niagen NanoCloud sachet’s sealed, waterless format helps keep Niagen intact until the moment of use, ensuring optimal efficacy. When mixed with a serum or moisturizer, the sachet dissolves to deliver a freshly activated, precision-dosed treatment that visibly improves texture, hydration and radiance, officials said.

The Niagen NanoCloud sachets are formulated with a curated blend of ingredients designed to support healthy-looking, hydrated skin. At the core is Niagen, the most efficient, effective, well-researched, patented, and high-quality NAD+ boosters available. Additional key ingredients include hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) for hydration, pullulan to help smooth texture and support a more refined appearance, squalane to nourish and soften without greasiness, and vitamin E to provide antioxidant support and help maintain the skin barrier.

A consumer perception study found that with consistent use, skin appears smoother, more hydrated and more youthful looking, with visible results starting in two weeks.

The limited-release Niagen NanoCloud retails for $59 on truniagen.com, with each unit containing 30 individual sachets.
