To provide all the beauty benefits of retinol without side effects, Sederma presents its encapsulated version of this hero ingredient: Revitalide, a lipid submicron particle made with 3% active retinol. This high-tech capsule provides enhanced stability, protecting retinol from degradation and making it easy to store and formulate, said the company. The small particle size and unique lipid composition of the capsule greatly improves bioavailability into the skin, with a controlled release process of the encapsulated retinol.
The protection of the active and enhanced delivery into the skin reinforces the efficacy of retinol allowing to minimize its use level while offering excellent skin tolerance. Skin delivery of Revitalide measured on skin explants showed a seven-fold increase in the delivery of retinol into the skin versus non encapsulated retinol.
The IECIC-compliant ingredient is also sustainable with a 95.50% natural origin content, according to ISO 16128. It is also 100% readily biodegradable in 28 days, RSPO approved and can be stored at room temperature, said the company.
