Retinol is the alcoholic form of vitamin A. It appears as a yellow crystalline solid, insoluble in water but soluble in fats and oils. The effect of retinol on the skin is due in part to the action of the same retinol, in large part to the action of its metabolites, retinaldehyde and retinoic acid. It actively fights free radicals and improves the appearance of the skin, stimulates cell renewal and prevents premature aging. Retinol performs several functions at the epithelial tissue level, including the differentiation of keratinocyte cells, induction of the synthesis of collagen and elastin, other glycoproteins and hyaluronic acid. it is also important in many biochemical reactions carried out in cells.
Applications Due to its properties, retinol is specifically indicated as an ingredient for cosmetic products that have protective and antiaging activities. Regular application of cosmetics containing 3-6% RETINOL improves skin radiance and increases its turgor and elasticity. It is also recommended for all sun and after sun products thanks to its moisturizing and nutritional properties. We recommend including the product in the final cosmetic formula, dispersing it in the aqueous phase at an ambient temperature of 35-40 °C.
