Formulation Considerations

Retinol is oil-soluble and sensitive to light, oxygen and heat. Formulators should incorporate it into a suitable oil phase or delivery system, preferably during cool-down at temperatures compatible with the supplier's specifications.

Final concentration, formulation pH, ingredient compatibility and packaging should be carefully assessed to maintain stability and minimise skin irritation.

Airless, opaque or light-protective packaging is recommended to help preserve product stability.

For professional cosmetic formulation use.
