Retinyl palmitat is a very stable and skin tolerant form of vitamin A. It is changed into retinol by enzymes in the skin, easily absorbed via the cell walls and then changed again into retinoic acid. By taking this little detour, the skin gains from the positive effect of the retinoic acid without any side effects, which would occur with a direct, external application. Vitamin A supports growth of keratinozytes, improves the immune system of the skin, stabilizes pigment cells, improves natural moisture and leaves the skin’s surface looking soft and smooth.
