RETINYL ACETATE POWDER

Description

Retinyl acetate is a chemical compound derived from vitamin A (retinol), which is commonly used in the skincare and cosmetic industries for its beneficial effects on skin health. It is the acetate ester of retinol, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. When used topically, it can support collagen production, promote skin renewal, and address issues such as acne, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Retinyl acetate powder is the solid, powdered form of this compound, which makes it easier to incorporate into formulations like creams, serums, and lotions.
