CAS 127-47-9: Retinol, acetate
Description:Retinol acetate, also known as vitamin A acetate, is an ester of retinol (vitamin A) and acetic acid. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various biological functions, including vision, immune function, and skin health. The compound appears as a pale yellow to orange viscous liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. Retinol acetate is often used in cosmetic formulations for its skin-conditioning properties and is also utilized in dietary supplements to support overall health. In terms of stability, it is sensitive to light and air, which can lead to degradation; therefore, it is typically stored in opaque containers to minimize exposure. The compound is generally regarded as safe when used appropriately, but excessive intake can lead to toxicity, highlighting the importance of adhering to recommended dosages.
