Questions
Asked by formulators.
Why choose encapsulated retinol?
Free retinol oxidizes easily. The MultiSal® double layer protects it, extends shelf life and supports a more comfortable experience on skin.
What is the difference between 2149-10 and 2149-12?
Both use the double-layer retinol system. They differ in supporting ingredients: one uses polysorbate 20 and BHT, the other caprylic/capric triglyceride and tocopherol. Check each INCI.
What claims does it carry?
It is gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan, and is listed against Walmart's Made Without List for Beauty.
