How it works · MultiSal®

Protected in the jar. Released on use.

A free-flowing, double-encapsulated powder that protects sensitive and volatile active ingredients and releases them on contact with moisture.

  1. ProtectedRetinol is double encapsulated: SalSphere® units inside a larger microsphere, shielded from the rest of your formula.
  2. TriggeredMoisture from water, sweat or wet lips opens the outer layer, not the jar or the shelf.
  3. ReleasedThe active ingredient is released at the moment of use, at a pace set by the outer layer.

Full product description

MultiSal® Retinol is an advanced double-layer encapsulation system that makes retinol easier to formulate and far more stable than traditional forms. Its unique microsphere-in-microsphere design protects retinol from oxidation, extends shelf life, and enables seamless incorporation into a wide range of serums, creams, and lotions. For consumers, this stability ensures delivery of a powerful, effective dose of retinol that works faster, with visible results in a shorter time—without the irritation commonly associated with retinol. Skin looks smoother, brighter, and more youthful, while formulators gain a reliable, versatile solution for next-generation anti-aging products.

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.
