About this product

An encapsulated 0.5% retinol serum in a squalane-buffered base. Encapsulation time-releases the retinol, which meaningfully reduces the sting and flaking that scare first-time users away from the most evidence-backed anti-aging ingredient there is (~55K UK searches/month).

The oil-in-silicone-squalane texture absorbs to a soft-matte finish and layers under night creams. A 0.3% 'beginner' and 1% 'advanced' variant are available so a brand can build a strength ladder.

Key actives & selling points

  • Encapsulated retinol 0.5% — time-release delivery = efficacy with tolerability
  • Squalane — buffers and mimics skin lipids, reducing dryness
  • Ceramides — support the barrier during retinisation
  • Bisabolol — calms the transition period for new users

Frequently asked questions

Do retinol products need special packaging or shipping?

Yes — opaque airless or aluminium laminate packaging protects retinol from light; we default to airless pumps. Shipping is still non-restricted.

Is retinol legal in the EU?

Yes as a cosmetic within limits; the current EU restriction framework (0.3% body / 0.05% face for other retinoid esters, vitamin A limits) is something we navigate for you — we will confirm the compliant level for your target market before production.

Can I sell a 0.3% / 0.5% / 1% ladder?

Yes — many brands merchandise exactly this. Each strength is a stock variant.

What nightly routine do you recommend printing on the box?

We supply copy: cleanse → serum 2–3 nights/week building to nightly → moisturiser → SPF in the morning.
