Vitamin A Palmitate
• Is a USP-compliant ester form of Vitamin A for pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic use
• Provides stable, bioavailable Vitamin A for systemic and topical applications
• Is used in oral supplements, fortified foods, parenteral nutrition, and topical formulations

Vitamin A Palmitate is chemically designated as Retinyl palmitate (C36H60O2). It appears as a yellow to orange oily liquid or crystalline solid, depending on grade and concentration. It is soluble in fats, oils, and organic solvents but insoluble in water, making it ideal for lipid-based delivery systems and fortified products.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications, Vitamin A Palmitate USP is used in:
• Oral supplements and multivitamin formulations for Vitamin A supplementation
• Parenteral nutrition solutions providing essential fat-soluble vitamins
• Topical creams, serums, and lotions promoting skin renewal and collagen synthesis
• Fortified food and beverage products requiring long-term Vitamin A stability
• Research and development of antioxidant and anti-aging formulations
Vitamin A Palmitate USP functions as a stable precursor of retinol, enzymatically hydrolyzed in vivo to release active Vitamin A. It contributes to the maintenance of vision, epithelial tissue health, and immune system integrity while providing antioxidant protection against oxidative stress.
