Frequently Asked Questions:

Why use Retinol powder instead of liquid Retinol?

The powder form (Retinyl Acetate) is significantly more stable and has a longer shelf life than liquid retinol, which is highly sensitive to oxidation. The powder is also easier to handle and formulate with in precise amounts.

The conversion is multi-step (Retinyl Acetate → Retinol → Retinal → Retinoic Acid) and is inefficient, with only a small percentage ultimately converting in the skin. This is why retinol is less potent but also less irritating than prescription retinoic acid.

What is the conversion rate to Retinoic Acid?

Formulate at a neutral pH, use airtight packaging, and include antioxidants like Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Ferulic Acid, or BHT in your formulation to significantly improve its stability.

How do I protect it from oxidation in my formula?

It is not recommended. The low pH of AHAs/BHAs can degrade retinol and reduce its efficacy. Furthermore, using them together significantly increases the risk of skin irritation and sensitivity. It's better to use them on alternate days or in different products (e.g., acids in the morning, retinol at night).

Can it be used in formulations with AHA/BHA acids?

For over-the-counter cosmetics, a usage rate of 0.1% to 0.5% is common and effective. It is crucial to start with a lower concentration and inform consumers to build up tolerance to minimize irritation.
