CAS 79-81-2: Retinol palmitate
Description:Retinol palmitate, also known as vitamin A palmitate, is an ester formed from retinol (vitamin A) and palmitic acid. It is a pale yellow to orange oil that is soluble in organic solvents but poorly soluble in water. This compound is commonly used in cosmetics and dietary supplements due to its role in promoting skin health and vision. Retinol palmitate is known for its antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative stress. In formulations, it acts as a skin-conditioning agent, enhancing the appearance and texture of the skin. The compound is sensitive to light and air, which can lead to degradation; thus, it is often stored in opaque containers to maintain stability. Additionally, retinol palmitate is converted into active retinol in the body, contributing to various physiological functions, including cellular growth and differentiation. Its use in skincare products is popular for its potential to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin tone. However, it should be used with caution, as excessive application can lead to skin irritation.
