Application

• Retinyl palmitate in nanoemulgels for skin diseases: Research explores the application of retinyl palmitate in innovative nanoemulgels, demonstrating its efficacy in treating skin conditions through enhanced delivery mechanisms. This aligns with its use in skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments, providing a novel approach for topical therapy (Sghier et al., 2024).


• Stability and efficacy in UVB-induced skin photoaging: A study assessed retinyl palmitate′s efficacy against UVB-induced photoaging, showing significant protective effects on the skin. This underscores its potential as a high-purity biochemical assay component for studying retinoid signaling and its impact on skin health (Shu et al., 2023).


• Enhanced anti-photoaging therapy: Comparative research among various retinoids, including retinyl palmitate, highlights its superior anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities, positioning it as a preferred choice for anti-photoaging treatments. The study emphasizes its application in biochemical assays and as a vitamin A source in tissue engineering (Shu et al., 2023).
