Retinol is a challenging ingredient for cosmetic products. Formulators face two challenges: first, increasing the stability of retinol in cosmetic applications to prevent its degradation and maintain its effectiveness, and second, minimizing the potential side effects of skin irritation. Therefore, the carrier used for the administration of retinol plays a crucial role in solving these challenges.
Wax capsules are the perfect delivery system for oil-soluble actives. Made of Brazilian natural carnauba wax, they have high entrapment capacity and resistance to temperature. VitAlease is the ideal platform for retinol stabilization and delivery.
With vitAlease 7E, both challenges are solved with the same delivery system that:
- Encapsulates a high concentration of retinol (7%) that allows formulations with high levels of active ingredient,
- Keeps the active stable in the cosmetic,
- Penetrates and increases the bioavailability, releasing it over time and improving the skin's tolerance.
