Vitamin A Palmitate/Retinol Palmitate Powder CAS 79-81-2
What is Retinyl Palmitate?
Retinyl palmitate is a form of vitamin A, an ester of retinol (vitamin A) and palmitic acid (a saturated fatty acid, the main component of palm oil). Retinyl palmitate is easily absorbed by the skin and, once absorbed, is converted to retinol. Retinyl palmitate is widely used in skincare as a professional anti-aging ingredient. It has excellent effects on reducing fine lines, brightening the skin, promoting collagen production, and regulating cell regeneration.
Source: Naturally found in animals (such as eggs, milk, and liver), but synthetic versions are mostly used in cosmetics and supplements.
Core Function: After application to the skin or ingestion, it requires enzymes to break down into retinol, which is then further converted into the active retinoic acid to exert its biological effects.
Pathway of Action: Retinyl palmitate → retinol → retinoic acid → anti-aging and repairing effects

Applications of Retinyl Palmitate
Applications in Skincare
In skincare, retinyl palmitate's mildness and high stability make it an ideal ingredient in formulations. It is widely used in anti-aging products like anti-wrinkle creams, serums, and eye creams, as well as moisturizing and repairing products like face creams and lotions, primarily targeting sensitive skin and those new to retinol. Its key advantages lie in its low irritation, resistance to spoilage, and excellent compatibility with a variety of ingredients. While providing multiple benefits such as anti-aging, brightening, and improving skin texture, it also ensures a gentle and safe user experience.
Applications in Food and Nutritional Supplements
In the food and nutritional supplement industry, retinyl palmitate is primarily used as a nutritional supplement and source of vitamin A. It is added to foods such as liquid milk, milk powder, margarine, and breakfast cereals to prevent vitamin A deficiency. It is also a common ingredient in vitamin A capsules and multivitamin tablets. Converted into retinol in the body, it provides essential vitamin A to support normal vision, immune function, and cell growth.
Skincare Benefits of Retinyl Palmitate
Anti-Aging
As a derivative of vitamin A, it converts to retinol in the skin, further promoting collagen synthesis, enhancing skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin sagging. It is particularly suitable for those seeking anti-aging treatments.
Promotes Keratin Metabolism
It gently promotes stratum corneum renewal, helping to remove accumulated dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more refined skin surface, improving dullness and roughness, while also reducing clogged pores and helping to improve acne-prone skin.
Skin Moisturizing
It strengthens the skin barrier function, increases stratum corneum hydration, alleviates dryness, and keeps skin hydrated and radiant. It is suitable for dry or sensitive skin.
Antioxidant
It has a certain antioxidant capacity, helping to protect against free radical damage, slowing the skin's oxidative process, and helping to delay skin aging.
