About

A phytosphingosine derivative with a retinoyl group that offers skin renewal benefits but requires careful use due to potential retinoid-related irritation.

Triacetyl retinoyl phytosphingosine is a derivative of phytosphingosine (a skin lipid) esterified with triacetyl retinoyl groups. The retinoyl moiety indicates vitamin A derivative activity, which in cosmetic contexts may support skin cell turnover but also carries potential for irritation and is subject to EU restrictions on vitamin A compounds in cosmetic products. Specific EU Annex III restrictions may apply to this retinoid derivative.

Skin benefits

  • Skin renewal support
  • Cell turnover promotion
  • Phytosphingosine barrier support
