Retinyl Palmitate Vegan is a 100% plant-derived ester of retinol and palmitic acid, providing all the skin benefits of traditional vitamin A palmitate without any animal-derived components. Retinyl palmitate is commonly found in creams, lotions, serums, and eye creams. It is the preferred vitamin A fortification ingredient for infant formula, dairy products, cereals, and edible oils.As the most stable and gentle form of vitamin A in skincare, retinyl palmitate gradually converts to retinoic acid in the skin, delivering anti-aging benefits with minimal irritation.
Manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade conditions, our vegan retinyl palmitate undergoes esterification using plant-derived enzymes followed by multiple purification steps to achieve exceptional purity and stability. Each batch is tested for vitamin A activity (1.7 million IU/g), absence of animal-derived materials, and minimal oxidation products. The production process includes microencapsulation in plant-based phospholipids or cyclodextrins to enhance stability and skin delivery. The Retinyl Palmitate Vegan is a pale yellow to amber viscous oil or powder form, compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations and suitable for vegan, cruelty-free, and clean beauty product lines seeking effective anti-aging solutions.
