Retinyl myristate

Description:
Retinyl myristate, with the CAS number 1181-93-7, is an ester formed from retinol (vitamin A) and myristic acid. This compound is characterized by its role as a vitamin A derivative, which is essential for various biological functions, including vision, immune response, and skin health. Retinyl myristate is typically a pale yellow to amber liquid or solid, depending on its purity and formulation. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. This substance is often used in cosmetic formulations due to its ability to enhance skin penetration and improve the stability of retinol. Additionally, it serves as a source of vitamin A in dietary supplements and fortified foods. Retinyl myristate is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help protect skin cells from oxidative stress. However, like other retinoids, it should be used with caution, as excessive exposure can lead to skin irritation or other adverse effects.
