Description
Retinyl Palmitate Powder
Vitamin A offers amazing benefits for the skin. Especially mature skin
- increases skin cell turnover and via this process redensifies thinning skin
- can help boost collagen levels in the skin leading to a reduction in fines lines and improving the elasticity and firmness of the complexion
- as an antioxidant it protects the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals generated by sunlight
Appearance – yellow crystalline powder
Soluble in creams and lotions. Not soluble in water
Usage rate 1%. Add to creams and lotions at 40C. Ensure the Retinyl Palmitate Powder is fully dispersed through the cream
Vitamin A and Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) have a synergistic relationship by which they boost each others performance and efficacy. Consider adding 1% – 2% Niacinamide to any products containing Retinyl Palmitate. It would also be useful to add natural vitamin E to such a formulation,
Please note that the maximum usage of Retinyl Palmitate allowed in leave on skincare products is 1%, but in order to increase the potency of your finished product, consider using bakuchiol oil in the heated oil phase of a cream or lotion. Bakuchiol Oil mimics the action of Retinyl Palmitate.
Incorporation of Vitamin A powder will tint your cream / lotion a pale yellow.
When incorporating Retinyl Palmitate into a cream or lotion we recommend adding the powder shortly after creating the emulsion and use a stick blender to blend the powder consistently throughout otherwise the powder will tend to clump. Please note that exposing the powder to medium heat for a short while will not affect it
