A Vitamin With Hidden Beauty Benefits

When most people think of Vitamin B12, they think of energy, red blood cell production, and nutrition. But B12 — also known as cobalamin — has quietly earned a place among the most soothing and reparative ingredients in modern skincare.

It’s not just another vitamin on a label. In topical form, B12 helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and support skin repair at a cellular level — making it a must-have for sensitive, stressed, or environmentally challenged skin.

A Premium Ingredient Worth the Investment

Vitamin B12 isn’t cheap to formulate with. Its vibrant pink-red pigment and stability requirements mean it must be sourced and handled with care, especially in high-quality, bioavailable forms.

We choose to invest in it because of what it delivers: visible, tangible comfort for your skin.

How Vitamin B12 Works on the Skin

B12 plays a vital role in cell metabolism — the process your body uses to repair and renew tissues, including your skin. When applied topically, research suggests it:

• Supports Skin Barrier Function
  
  By helping maintain the integrity of the stratum corneum (outer skin layer), B12 reduces moisture loss and keeps skin resilient.
• Calms Redness & Irritation
  
  Its anti-inflammatory action makes it particularly valuable for reactive or sensitive skin types, including those prone to dryness, tightness, or visible redness.
• Promotes Healthy Skin Tone
  
  By aiding in cellular renewal and circulation, B12 helps improve overall radiance and evenness.

Backed by Clinical Use

Vitamin B12 has been used for decades in dermatology, particularly in creams designed to soothe inflammatory skin conditions. While its role in anti-aging is less about erasing wrinkles overnight, it creates the ideal calm, balanced environment for other powerhouse actives — like astaxanthin — to perform at their best.

Vitamin B12 in the Mythos Women Vital Glow Mask

In our Vital Glow Mask, Vitamin B12 is paired with astaxanthin (6,000× stronger than Vitamin C) and beetroot extract for a multi-pronged skin revival:

• Astaxanthin protects and repairs at a deep antioxidant level
• Beetroot boosts circulation for natural radiance
• Vitamin B12 calms, soothes, and reinforces your skin barrier — ensuring the mask leaves your skin not just glowing, but comfortable and balanced

The result? A treatment that energizes your complexion while keeping sensitivity in check — a true high-performance ritual without compromise.

The Mythos Standard

We include Vitamin B12 not because it’s trendy, but because it works. And while it’s a costly ingredient, we believe investing in proven, science-backed actives is what separates real results from empty marketing.

Every application of the Vital Glow Mask delivers the combined strength of antioxidant protection, barrier support, and circulation-boosting energy — all in one luxurious formula.
