RetiStar™ is a stabilized retinol in an oily dispersion. Traditionally, retinol in formulation requires the use of inert gas technology during manufacturing and packaging for its stability.
The ratio and absolute concentration of the triglyceride, sodium ascorbate, and tocopherol are well balanced to achieve maximum stability of retinol in cosmetic emulsions. Retinol is an active ingredient in sophisticated cosmetic skin care products.
RetiStar™ is a highly effective substance for the care of aging skin and it protects against photo-aging. It is effective against most signs of skin aging - wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and loss of elasticity - is avoidable.
