About Vitamin A (Retinol)

Looking for high-potency Retinol (Vitamin A)? ChemicalDekho connects you with specialized manufacturers like Piramal Enterprises and global importers of BASF material. Access stable Vitamin A derivatives for premium skincare and health formulations.

Vitamin A (CAS 68-26-8) is the most proven anti-aging active in dermatology. It works by stimulating collagen production and speeding up cell turnover. Because pure Retinol is highly sensitive to light and air, it is often supplied as stable esters like Vitamin A Palmitate or Acetate. Listings cover liquid oils and CWS (Cold Water Soluble) powders for fortification.

Verified listings ensure strict control over oxidation values and potency (measured in IU/g), essential for high-performance cosmetics.
