Retinyl linoleate

Retinyl linoleate (CAS 631-89-0 ), also known as Retinol linoleate, is an ester of vitamin A (retinol) combined with linoleic acid. It is used as a stable, oil-soluble source of vitamin A in cosmetic and nutritional formulations. Its ester form improves shelf stability compared to free retinol, making it a preferred delivery form for formulators managing oxidation-sensitive actives. In skincare formulations, it is incorporated into anti-aging creams and serums. Controlled release of vitamin A activity supports skin renewal without the irritation profile associated with retinoic acid. Supplement manufacturers use it as a bioavailable vitamin A source in softgel and oil-based nutritional products. Cosmetic formulators also incorporate it into hair care products, where it conditions and supports scalp health alongside other lipid-soluble actives. Its compatibility with fatty acid-rich carrier oils makes it highly versatile. It is suitable for premium facial oils and emollient-heavy skin barrier formulations. The product is supplied as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid or oily solution available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications. Potency is typically expressed in IU/g or as a percentage of retinyl ester content. Bulk supply is standard in drums or smaller quantities for specialty formulation use, ensuring high quality for industrial applications. Contact us for supply of Retinyl linoleate Request Quote
