Retinol (Vitamin A) skin products?

Posted by J on March 10, 2013 at 9:13am

Hi,

If anyone knows much about retinol (vit A) skin application, will you please share your thoughts?

- is it something you recommend?   Why or why not? 

- is there a vegan, animal-friendly, and non-toxic brand?

Thanks so much for sharing any thoughts and information.

    Retinol is vit A from an animal source. Carotenoids are vit A from plant sources. I produce facial creams, I personally do not believe in separating out specific vitamins because the body thinks its a poison and therefore toxic. I believe in whole plant nutrition that includes for the face. I love to take my morning smoothie and save a small bit for the face and use it like a mask. My belief is that living cells need living water.

      Thank you so much, Shonna.  Your information was very helpful and you pointed out great facts.  Cool idea on the smoothie mask.

      I did not realize Retinol is strictly from animal sources.   Much appreciation.
