Encapsulated Retinol 12.5% is a high-potency active ingredient where retinol is encapsulated in a protective delivery system to enhance stability, improve efficacy, and minimize irritation during use.

Encapsulation protects retinol from degradation caused by light, air, and temperature. It also ensures controlled release, reducing the potential for skin irritation and improving absorption into the skin.

It promotes skin renewal, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, and helps even out skin tone. Its encapsulated form enhances stability and reduces irritation.

It is ideal for use in serums, night creams, anti-aging formulations, eye creams, and targeted treatments for skin rejuvenation.

Yes, the encapsulated form minimizes direct exposure of retinol to the skin, reducing the likelihood of irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations when used appropriately.

Yes, it can be combined with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides to create synergistic formulations. However, avoid combining with highly acidic actives like AHAs to maintain stability.

Retinol usage levels and product claims are regulated in many regions. Formulators should adhere to local cosmetic regulations and include appropriate labeling and usage instructions.

It is primarily oil-soluble. For water-based formulations, it may require emulsifiers or solubilizers to achieve stability and uniform dispersion.

Encapsulation enhances the efficacy of retinol by improving stability, ensuring controlled release, and minimizing degradation, allowing the active ingredient to work effectively over time.

The encapsulation technology minimizes the characteristic odor of retinol and reduces potential yellowing, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing formulation.
