    RETINAL (Retinaldehyde) - Premium Anti-Aging Active Ingredient

    Next-Generation Vitamin A Derivative for Advanced Skincare Formulations

    Product Overview

    Our RETINAL (Retinaldehyde, Vitamin A Aldehyde) is a high-purity, bioactive vitamin A derivative that represents the most advanced innovation in anti-aging skincare technology. As a pioneering Chinese manufacturer, we have developed a proprietary nano-encapsulation process that delivers RETINAL with exceptional purity (≥99%) and unmatched bioavailability without the traditional stability issues associated with retinoid compounds .


    This revolutionary ingredient offers direct biological activity as it converts to retinoic acid more efficiently than retinol (up to 11 times faster according to clinical studies), making it significantly more effective and less irritating than conventional retinoids like retinol or retinoic acid . Our RETINAL is specially engineered for formulators seeking to create high-performance skincare products that deliver visible anti-aging results within 14 days without causing sensitivity or irritation, even for consumers with sensitive skin .


    With its unique molecular structure that serves as the direct precursor to retinoic acid in the skin's natural vitamin A metabolism, our RETINAL provides superior efficacy, enhanced skin penetration, and prolonged activity in cosmetic formulations, making it the ideal choice for brands targeting consumers who seek clinical-grade results without prescription-level side effects




    Advanced Production Process

    Our RETINAL is manufactured through a proprietary nano-encapsulation technology that combines precision chemistry with advanced delivery systems:


    1. Molecular Synthesis: We utilize a patented synthesis process that begins with high-purity vitamin A precursors, employing green chemistry principles to minimize environmental impact and maximize yield while maintaining the delicate structure of the retinaldehyde molecule 
    2. Precision Formulation: The nano-encapsulated RETINAL undergoes careful formulation to ensure optimal particle size distribution and encapsulation efficiency (>98%), providing consistent performance in final products
    3. Quality Enhancement: The finished product undergoes a stabilization process that enhances shelf stability and ensures consistent performance in final formulations. This includes precise control of the oxidation potential to maintain efficacy 
    4. Comprehensive Quality Control: Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC for purity assessment, GC-MS for contaminant screening, dynamic light scattering for particle size analysis, and stability testing under various conditions to ensure compliance with stringent quality standards

    Product Characteristics & Performance Benefits

    Our RETINAL offers exceptional performance characteristics that make it ideal for advanced skincare formulations:


    Superior Efficacy with Minimal Irritation

    RETINAL converts to retinoic acid 11 times faster than retinol while being significantly less irritating than retinoic acid. Its unique "reverse metabolism" capability allows excess retinaldehyde to be converted back to retinol for storage, preventing the accumulation that causes irritation 


    Rapid Anti-Aging Results

    Clinical studies demonstrate visible anti-wrinkle results within 14 days of regular use. RETINAL promotes collagen synthesis more effectively than retinol, with studies showing it can stimulate collagen production up to 1000 times more effectively than retinol


    Enhanced Stability

    Unlike traditional retinoids which are prone to degradation when exposed to light and air, our nano-encapsulated RETINAL demonstrates exceptional stability in various formulation bases, maintaining efficacy throughout product shelf life 



    Multi-Action Benefits

    Beyond anti-aging, RETINAL provides comprehensive skincare benefits:

    • Regulates sebum production for improved acne management 
    • Lightens hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone by inhibiting melanin synthesis 
    • Strengthens skin barrier function for better hydration 
    • Provides antibacterial properties against acne-causing bacteria, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin 
    • Repairs UV damage to elastic fibers and collagen


    Formulation Versatility

    Our RETINAL is compatible with various formulation systems including:

    • Anhydrous formulations (using powder form)
    • Oil-based serums (using liquid solution form)
    • Water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions
    • Advanced delivery systems for enhanced penetration


    Excellent Stability

    Rigorous safety testing confirms that our RETINAL is well-tolerated and suitable for sensitive skin types, including those who cannot tolerate other vitamin A derivatives. Its natural occurrence in the skin's vitamin A metabolism pathway ensures biocompatibility
