    Thanks 
    Will it be stable if we don’t add antioxidants?

    It won’t be stable even if you add antioxidants and keep it in freezer. Retinol is utterly unstable. I am talking about actual retinol not derivatives. Tretinoin is even worse.

    What makes retinol unstable? 
    Water

    Air
    Heat
    Light 
    Or something else?
