Micro encapsulated retinol - how?
I’m looking at a PTR formula with:
CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, SQUALANE, WATER/AQUA/EAU, RETINOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, BISABOLOL, LECITHIN, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYSORBATE 20, ALCOHOL.
Is this really microencapsulated or is it simply a dispersion of oil droplets with retinol in silicone not giving any time release effect?I see some companies use “1% micro encapsulated retinol” btw, but it’s impossible to know how much retinol that is equal to. Making cosmetics sells microencapsulated retinol with 0.005% retinol..
