RETINYL PROPIONATE
Safety grade: B**
Retinyl propionate is a form of vitamin A that has been modified to be gentler and more stable on skin. It's a precursor to retinol, meaning your skin converts it into active vitamin A to support skin health.
This ingredient conditions and improves the appearance of skin by promoting cell turnover and supporting a smoother, more refined skin texture.
