Description
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a stable retinoic acid ester belonging to the retinoid family. Its molecular formula is C26H38O3, with a molecular weight of 398.58. It is a vitamin A derivative and is characterized by high stability. HPR is available as a yellow powder or a light yellow to yellow liquid with 99% purity. The ingredient is oil-soluble. Unlike retinoic acid, HPR acts more gently by binding to retinoic acid receptors in the skin. For purchasers, it is important that HPR is an effective retinol alternative with reduced irritation potential, expanding its applicability in various cosmetic formulations, especially for sensitive skin. It ensures stability in the finished product.
