2% Retinoid in Squalane

A 2% retinoid concentrate delivered in a pure squalane base, the oil-based alternative to the water-based retinol serums that crowd the category. Suspending the retinoid in squalane cushions the skin, which lets a line run a meaningful strength while keeping dryness and flaking complaints low. It suits brands targeting visible aging and skin texture for customers who found standard retinol products too harsh. The base absorbs quickly and layers under a night moisturizer without residue. We can adjust the retinoid form, the carrier oil blend, and the scent-free or lightly scented direction to fit your positioning and price point.
