Description
Retinol (Vitamin A) is a biologically active form of vitamin A widely used in cosmetic formulations for skin renewal, anti-aging, and acne care. In powder form, it is often stabilized or encapsulated to improve handling, stability, and formulation flexibility.
Retinol powder is a gold standard ingredient in skincare because it alters the behavior of aged cells so they act in a more youthful manner. It smooths and refines skin’s texture, enhances skin radiance and treats aging. When retinol is incorporated into age preventive skin care routines, it helps accelerate skin renewal, enhance collagen production and reduce the appearance of aging, uneven texture and age spots.
