Retinol and Retinal for Cosmetic Registration

Yes, both Retinol and Retinal (Retinaldehyde) can be registered with the Thai FDA (อย.) for use in cosmetic products. These are forms of Vitamin A that are widely recognized for their anti-aging and skin wrinkle-reducing benefits.

Usage Guidelines for Registration:

• Retinol: Our Retinol products, such as Retinol (100% Pure Powder) and Retinol (50% liquid), are suitable for use in anti-wrinkle serums, lotions, or creams. The recommended usage rate for Retinol is generally not more than 0.1%.

• Retinal (Retinaldehyde): Our Retinal (Retinaldehyde) and Retinal-EZ™ (Encapsulated Water Dispersible Retinal) are considered highly effective forms of Vitamin A permitted by the FDA for cosmetic use. Retinal converts to Retinoic Acid in the skin faster than Retinol, offering potent anti-aging effects. The recommended usage rate for Retinal is typically 0.01-0.1%, with 0.05% being a common recommendation. It is important to note that using more than 0.1% can cause skin irritation and may be dangerous.

When formulating with these ingredients, it is crucial to adhere to the recommended usage rates to ensure product safety and compliance with FDA regulations.
