Retinyl Palmitate is an ingredient that will help improve skin tone. When used on the skin, your skin’s natural enzymes convert Retinyl Palmitate to retinol, which is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that treats wrinkles by encouraging the growth of new skin cells. This ingredient helps thicken skin, which gives your skin added resiliency and a smoother look. Retinyl Palmitate is not so much an ingredient when used in sunscreen, but rather is a cosmetic agent. In addition to its antioxidant quality to improve product performance against aging effects of UV exposure, Retinyl Palmitate boosts the aesthetic qualities of sunscreen. Can be harsh to the skin, leading to irritation, flaking skin, peeling, and redness
