Retinol and Retinol Compounds

Retinol is the chemical name of the essential micronutrient vitamin A which can be harmful to your health when it’s added to cosmetic products in certain forms. Two derivatives – retinoic acid and retinyl palmitate – should be avoided in cosmetics and personal care products while retinol itself should not be used at high doses.

FOUND IN: Anti-aging creams and lotions, moisturizers, and foundation.

WHAT IS RETINOL?Natural vitamin A and its derivatives have important roles in human reproduction and development and in maintaining good vision and healthy skin.[1] 

People must consume enough vitamin A from their diet to be healthy. More

WHAT TO LOOK FOR ON THE LABEL: Retinol, vitamin A, retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, all-trans retinoic acid, tretinoin.

HEALTH CONCERNS: Cancer (Possible), Developmental and reproductive toxicity. More

VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: All

REGULATIONS: All-trans retinoic acid (Tretinoin) is banned for use in cosmetics in the EU.[8]

HOW TO AVOID: Read labels and avoid products containing retinyl palmitate and all-trans retinoic acid (tretinoin). Also avoid products with high doses of retinol (when in daily dosages in excess of 10,000 IU, or 3,000 retinol equivalents).

A project from "breast cancer prevention" partners, suggesting to avoid Poison/"Vitamin A".  Grant Genereux wrote a whole e-book connecting Poison/"Vitamin A" to breast cancer.  There are no coincidences.  Any short-term benefits one might notice on their skin will soon show up as much deeper and stronger disease within the body (like autoimmunity), it's called the Duration Paradox (search this site for more on that).
