All-trans-Retinyl Oleate is a synthetic ester formed from the combination of retinol (vitamin A) and oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid found in various vegetable oils. This compound belongs to the class of retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. The structure of all-trans-Retinyl Oleate combines the lipophilic properties of retinol and oleic acid. The interest in all-trans-Retinyl Oleate extends to research and development activities focused on understanding the interactions of lipid-soluble compounds with skin and other lipid-rich tissues. Studies might explore the stability of this compound in various formulations. The development and use of all-trans-Retinyl Oleate leverages the understanding of ester chemistry and the physicochemical properties of both retinol and oleic acid.
