Description

Vitamin A Acetate

Vitamin A Acetate is a high-purity, fat-soluble ester form of Vitamin A used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic formulations. Known for its superior stability compared to retinol, it functions as a source of Vitamin A to support vision, cellular growth, immune response, and skin health. It is commonly used in fortified foods, supplements, topical creams, and serums. Vitamin A Acetate
• Is a stabilized ester form of Vitamin A for pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic use
• Provides antioxidant protection and supports epithelial cell maintenance
• Is used in tablets, capsules, softgels, emulsions, and topical formulations
• Is suitable for vitamin enrichment in foods, feeds, and cosmetics
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Vitamin A Acetate is chemically designated as Retinyl acetate (C22H32O2). It appears as a pale yellow to orange oily liquid or solid, depending on concentration and formulation grade. It is soluble in fats, oils, and organic solvents but insoluble in water, making it ideal for lipid-based systems.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications, Vitamin A Acetate is used in:
• Oral supplements and fortified foods to prevent or treat Vitamin A deficiency
• Parenteral nutrition formulations supplying essential fat-soluble vitamins
• Topical creams, lotions, and serums for anti-aging and skin regeneration
• Ophthalmic and dermatological formulations supporting tissue repair
• Research and development of antioxidant-rich formulations and combination vitamins
Vitamin A Acetate serves as a stable precursor of retinol, releasing active Vitamin A through enzymatic hydrolysis in vivo. It contributes to visual health, immune defense, and epithelial integrity while promoting collagen synthesis and cellular renewal in topical applications.
CarboMer supplies Vitamin A Acetate with control over assay, stability, peroxide value, and residual solvents. The material meets international compendial quality standards and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic manufacturing.
The material is packaged in light-resistant, oxygen-impermeable, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation, including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (UV, IR), assay (retinol equivalent), peroxide value, specific gravity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
