Retinyl Palmitate, also known as Vitamin A Palmitate or Retinyl Palmitate (CAS: 79-81-2), is a stable ester of Vitamin A that combines retinol with palmitic acid for extended shelf life and enhanced skin compatibility. This fat-soluble derivative promotes collagen synthesis, accelerates skin cell turnover and improves skin texture while being gentler than pure retinol.
Our powders ensure good dispersibility in both aqueous and oil-based systems, making them ideal for anti-aging serums, brightening creams and dietary supplements. The global retinoid market is expected to reach $3.3 billion by 2032, driven by the growing demand for science-backed anti-aging solutions.
Our proprietary liposomal encapsulation technology ensures up to 3x higher epidermal absorption than standard powders and pH/heat resistance up to 40°C, allowing for wider formulation compatibility. We offer production services from 1kg pilot batches to ton-scale production, including concentration adjustments and synergistic blending with vitamins E or C.
Nano-encapsulated technology provides 3x higher epidermal absorption. Proprietary liposomal coating ensures thermal stability up to 45°C.
Customized ranges (10-200nm) to match your base formula, reducing precipitation and improving mixing homogeneity.
HPLC purity ≥98.5% with low heavy metal control (Lead <0.5ppm, Arsenic <0.1ppm). Produced under cGMP standards.
Surface-modified powders disperse evenly in both aqueous and anhydrous systems without pre-dissolving in oil.

Boosts collagen production, reduces fine lines, and improves overall skin texture.
Stimulates cell turnover to fade age spots and improve skin tone.
Promotes healing and new cell growth in skin damaged by UV exposure.
We specialize in high purity, stable Retinyl Palmitate powders and are ISO, cGMP and FSSC22000 certified. Our liposomal formula ensures better absorption and heat resistance, making formulation easy. Whether you need bulk supply or custom formulations, we provide consistent quality and technical support.
With continued use, visible results are usually seen within 4-6 weeks. Improvements in skin texture and wrinkles become more noticeable over time with regular application.
While it can be used during the day, it is best applied at night as Vitamin A derivatives increase sun sensitivity. Always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this ingredient.
Retinyl Palmitate is an esterified, more stable form of Vitamin A. It is gentler and less irritating than pure retinol, making it much better suited for sensitive skin while still providing anti-aging benefits.
Our standard Retinyl Palmitate is fat-soluble. However, our nano-encapsulated and surface-modified versions offer excellent dispersibility in aqueous systems without needing to pre-dissolve in oil.
It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and oxidation. Keeping the container tightly sealed in a temperature-controlled environment ensures a shelf life of up to 2 years.
Yes, it works synergistically with Vitamin E to improve oxidative stability. It is also commonly formulated with Bakuchiol for a mild but effective anti-aging solution.
