ZLEY® MecRetinol 10% (CAS 11103-57-4, 128446-33-3):
Advanced Cyclodextrin Molecular Encapsulation Technology – Maximizing Efficacy While Minimizing Irritation
Product Overview
ZLEY®MecRetinol10% is an innovative encapsulated retinol system composed of Retinol and Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin. This advanced delivery system utilizes cyclodextrin molecular encapsulation technology to overcome the inherent instability and irritation challenges associated with traditional retinol.
The technology leverages the unique hollow structure of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, which features a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic outer surface. Through molecular interactions such as Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding, retinol is precisely embedded within the internal hydrophobic space. This effectively “locks in” the retinol, forming a stable inclusion complex that significantly enhances retinol’s stability against light, heat, and oxidation while improving its bioavailability.
ZLEY® is a professional supplier of MecRetinol 10% (CAS 11103-57-4, 128446-33-3), providing stable quality, technical support, and global delivery services covering over 60 countries. For specifications, samples, or quotations,
