About this ingredient

Retinyl palmitate is the esterified form of retinol (vitamin A), commonly used in skincare and cosmetics for its anti-aging benefits. It converts to retinoic acid in the skin, helping to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and promote cell turnover. It is a milder, more stable alternative to pure retinol.
