Retinol (CAS No.: 68-26-8) - Premium Vitamin A for Nutritional Supplementation & Cosmetic Care

As a professional supplier of high-purity bioactive ingredients, we provide pharmaceutical-grade and cosmetic-grade Retinol (Vitamin A) that strictly complies with global standards (USP, EP, FCC). A fat-soluble essential vitamin and core member of the retinoid family, Retinol is widely used in nutritional supplements (to address vitamin A deficiency) and premium skincare products (for anti-aging and skin health), offering dual value in healthcare and cosmetics.

Product Basic Information

Product Core Functions & Applications

Retinol plays irreplaceable roles in human physiology (vision, immunity, cell growth) and skin health (collagen synthesis, keratinization regulation). It is widely applied in nutritional supplements and cosmetic formulations (no veterinary application for high-purity Retinol):

1. Nutritional & Pharmaceutical Field (Vitamin A Supplementation)

Address Vitamin A Deficiency: Used in oral supplements (tablets, capsules, oil solutions) to treat and prevent vitamin A deficiency-related conditions, such as:

Night blindness and xerophthalmia (dry eyes) - Retinol is a precursor to retinal, a key component of rhodopsin (the light-sensitive protein in the retina).

Skin xerosis (dry, scaly skin) and follicular hyperkeratosis.

Impaired immunity (vitamin A supports mucosal barrier function and immune cell activity).

Special Populations: Recommended for pregnant/lactating women (to support fetal eye development and maternal nutrient needs) and children in high-risk regions (to reduce mortality from infectious diseases), following WHO-recommended dosage guidelines.

2. Cosmetic Field (Anti-Aging & Skin Care)

Anti-Aging Efficacy: A gold-standard anti-aging ingredient in serums, creams, and lotions, working through multiple mechanisms:

Stimulates collagen production and reduces collagen breakdown, minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging.

Accelerates skin cell turnover (exfoliation), improving uneven skin tone, dullness, and texture.

Regulates abnormal keratinization, unclogging pores and reducing acne breakouts (for acne-prone skin).

Formulation Notes: Retinol is sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen (prone to oxidation and degradation). Cosmetic formulations typically:

Use opaque, airtight packaging to protect from light and air.

Add antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E, ferulic acid) to enhance stability.

Offer low-concentration options (0.1%-1.0%) for beginners to minimize potential irritation (redness, dryness).

Quality & Stability Assurance

Retinol's sensitivity to oxidation and critical role in nutrition/skincare demand strict quality control:

Raw Material Sourcing: Derived from high-purity natural sources (e.g., fish liver oil extraction) or advanced chemical synthesis, with strict screening to avoid contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticide residues in natural sources).

Production Process:

For nutritional grade: Manufactured in GMP-certified workshops, with inert gas (nitrogen) protection during extraction, purification, and encapsulation to prevent oxidation.

For cosmetic grade: Stabilized with food-grade antioxidants and formulated into oil-based carriers (to enhance solubility and stability) before delivery to cosmetic manufacturers.

Testing Protocols: Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing, including:

HPLC analysis for Retinol purity, isomer content (all-trans Retinol ≥90%), and oxidation by-products (e.g., retinal, retinoic acid ≤2.0%).

Heavy metal (Pb, Hg, Cd) and microbial limit testing (for nutritional grade).

Stability testing (accelerated and long-term) to validate shelf-life under recommended storage conditions.

Safety Reminders:

Nutritional Use: Excessive intake (≥3000 mcg RAE/day for adults) may cause vitamin A toxicity (headache, liver damage, teratogenicity in pregnancy) - follow recommended daily allowances (RDAs).

Cosmetic Use: May cause photosensitivity - users should apply sunscreen (SPF ≥30) during daytime. Avoid use on broken skin or by pregnant/nursing women unless directed by a dermatologist.
