Description

Encapsulated retinol is a technology that allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin layer before being activated making is a slow sustained release retinol. It is well known that retinol in all forms readily deteriorates when exposed to light and air, therefore this encapsulation helps to improve not only the delivery of the retinol but its stability as well. This retinol is encapsulated, it means that the active ingredient has been enclosed in a protective ‘shell,. This  allows for the easy incorporation of retinol into emulsion systems to help decrease the extrinsic signs of aging.
