  Hello,

  I believe it can. However you need to check regulatory limits. 
  If I remember correctly, in EU it’s 0.05% for body products and 0.1% (or 0.3%) for hands, face and rinse off products. 
  Talking about Retinol, Retinyl Acetate abd Retinyl Palmitate.

  @amitvedakar:

  Yes, you can.  If you are referring to the BASF product, it is in a base of Sunflower Seed Oil.
