RETINYL PALMITATE

Retinyl Palmitate is the ester of Retinol and palmitic acid.

RETINYL PALMITATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional category Skin Conditioning - Miscellaneous, with CAS number 79-81-2 and EC number 201-228-5. CosIng records a restriction against it (III/376), so check the corresponding Annex entry before formulating. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 3 product labels, reaching position 7 on Vaseline Gluta-Hya Body Lotion Flawless Glow 200mL. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
