AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT

Advanced Liposomal Retinol for Stable, High-Efficacy Anti-Aging Formulas

INCI Name: Water, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Propanediol, Retinol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Sclerotium gum, Xanthan gum, Hyaluronic acid

AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT is a high-performance, stabilized retinol active that utilizes an advanced liposomal delivery system. This encapsulation protects retinol from heat- and light‑induced degradation, enhances penetration into the epidermis to accelerate visible renewal, and minimizes irritation commonly associated with retinoids—making it ideal for potent yet gentle anti-aging formulas.

Solubility Notes:

Water-dispersible. Add to the water phase or during cool-down below 40°C (104°F). Avoid prolonged high-shear after incorporation.

Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT

How Liposomal Encapsulation Unlocks Retinol’s Full Potential

Retinol is a gold-standard anti-aging active renowned for accelerating cell turnover, boosting collagen synthesis, and improving skin texture. However, it is highly sensitive to air, light, and heat. AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT addresses these challenges by encapsulating retinol within liposomes—microscopic, lipid-bilayer vesicles that shield the active and enhance its delivery into the epidermis.

This advanced delivery system provides three key benefits:

  • Enhanced Stability: Liposomal encapsulation protects retinol from oxidation and photodegradation, supporting a longer shelf life and sustained potency.
  • Improved Delivery & Bioavailability: The biomimetic lipid structure facilitates penetration through the stratum corneum, delivering retinol more effectively to its target site.
  • Reduced Irritation: Controlled, gradual release minimizes surface irritation, redness, and peeling commonly associated with free retinol.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT is a user-friendly aqueous dispersion that simplifies handling versus raw retinol. Its pre-stabilized format supports efficient manufacturing and consistent performance.

  • Usage Rate: 0.5%–2.0% depending on product type and desired intensity.
  • pH Stability: Formulate within pH 4.0–7.0 (ideal: 5.5–6.5).
  • Processing: Add to the water phase or at cool-down below 40°C (104°F). Avoid extended high-shear after addition.
  • Compatibility: Pairs well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and most peptides. When combining with AHAs/BHAs, consider alternating-use guidance for end users.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Clinically Aligned Efficacy: Targets visible signs of aging, softening fine lines and wrinkles while improving firmness and texture.
  • Superior Stability: Liposomal shielding protects retinol from heat and light to maintain effectiveness through shelf life.
  • Gentle on Skin: Controlled release helps reduce dryness and irritation for improved tolerability.
  • Formulator-Friendly: Easy-to-disperse liquid enables rapid, uniform incorporation.
  • Enhanced Hydration: Glycerin and hyaluronic acid support skin’s moisture balance for a comfortable finish.
  • Antioxidant Support: Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract provides additional protection from environmental stressors.

Frequently Asked Questions About AccessCARE RET-STB 30NT

The recommended usage range is 0.5% for daily maintenance products up to 2.0% for more intensive anti-aging treatments.
Liposomal retinol is encapsulated in a lipid vesicle that protects it from degradation, enhances penetration into the skin, and provides a gentler, controlled release to help reduce irritation versus free retinol.
Formulate within pH 4.0–7.0 for optimal stability and performance; a slightly acidic pH of about 5.5–6.5 is ideal.
Retinol products are best positioned for nighttime use. Advise consumers to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.
Yes. It pairs well with stable Vitamin C derivatives and most peptides. When formulating with exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), consider end-user guidance such as alternating use to minimize potential sensitivity.
Yes. Add during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F) to protect both the liposomal structure and retinol integrity.
