NanoActive® RAL (Liposomal Retinal) Advanced Vitamin A Technology for High-Performance Skin Care

Company & Brand Background

PuriPharm Co. Ltd. is a science-driven company specializing in the research, development, and commercialization of high-performance functional bioactive ingredients. With a strong foundation in pharmaceutical science, biotechnology, and advanced formulation technologies, PuriPharm is dedicated to delivering safe, effective, and innovative active ingredient solutions for the global cosmetics, personal care, and biomedical industries.

PuriPharm operates two core product platforms:

• PuriActives® – a portfolio of high-quality functional bioactives derived from natural, bio-based, and scientifically validated sources.

• NanoActive® – an advanced nano-delivery ingredient platform designed to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and efficacy of sensitive active compounds through cutting-edge encapsulation technologies.

NanoActive® RAL (Liposomal Retinal) is a flagship product of the NanoActive® series, representing PuriPharm’s expertise in vitamin A chemistry, lipid delivery systems, and skin bioavailability optimization.

Retinal, also known as retinaldehyde (RAL), is a highly active form of vitamin A and a direct biochemical precursor of retinoic acid, the biologically active molecule responsible for many of vitamin A’s well-known skin benefits.

Unlike retinol, which requires a two-step enzymatic conversion process in the skin, retinal converts to retinoic acid in only one step. As a result, retinal delivers faster and more efficient biological activity at significantly lower concentrations.

Scientific and clinical studies have demonstrated that:

• Retinal converts to retinoic acid approximately 11 times faster than retinol

• Retinal offers efficacy comparable to retinoic acid but with significantly improved skin tolerance

• Retinal provides powerful anti-aging, skin-renewing, and collagen-stimulating effects with reduced irritation

For these reasons, retinal is widely recognized as one of the most advanced and effective vitamin A forms available for modern skin care formulations.

Why Choose Retinal Instead of Retinol?

Although retinol has long been used in cosmetic formulations, it presents several inherent limitations, including instability, oxidation, discoloration, and slow biological conversion.

Retinal offers distinct advantages:

• Faster efficacy – 11-fold faster conversion to retinoic acid compared with retinol

• Higher biological efficiency – closer to retinoic acid in the vitamin A metabolic pathway

• Improved skin tolerance – lower irritation potential compared with retinoic acid

• Broader functionality – supports anti-aging, acne control, skin tone improvement, and barrier repair

However, retinal itself is a chemically sensitive molecule that is prone to oxidation, light degradation, and discoloration. These challenges have historically limited its widespread use in cosmetic formulations.

NanoActive® RAL: Liposomal Retinal Technology

NanoActive® RAL overcomes the traditional limitations of retinal through an advanced liposomal nano-delivery system, enabling formulators to fully unlock the benefits of retinal in a stable, effective, and user-friendly form.

NanoActive® RAL is a lipid-encapsulated retinal, engineered using phospholipid bilayer technology that mimics the structure of biological cell membranes. This delivery system provides comprehensive protection and controlled release of retinal in the skin.

Key Features of NanoActive® RAL

• High stability – protected from oxidation, light exposure, and thermal degradation

• No discoloration – maintains formulation clarity and color stability over time

• Enhanced skin absorption – liposomal structure improves penetration and bioavailability

• Controlled release – gradual delivery minimizes irritation while maximizing efficacy

• Superior compatibility – easy to formulate into a wide range of cosmetic systems

Through nano-encapsulation, NanoActive® RAL ensures that retinal remains active, effective, and safe throughout the product’s shelf life and during skin application.

11 Times Faster Conversion to Retinoic Acid

One of the most important advantages of NanoActive® RAL is the intrinsic metabolic efficiency of retinal.

In the skin:

• Retinol → Retinal → Retinoic Acid (two-step conversion)

• Retinal → Retinoic Acid (one-step conversion)

This simplified pathway allows retinal to deliver results approximately 11 times faster than retinol, leading to quicker improvements in skin texture, tone, and visible signs of aging.

Because NanoActive® RAL enhances retinal delivery and stability, this rapid conversion can occur more efficiently and consistently within the skin.

Bio-Skinflora Solution

Description: nutrient solution with strong capacities of moisture retention, soothing allergies and anti-irritation

Innovative Mechanism:

Plant collagen, glucan and prebiotics work together to form a highly hydrophilic micro-ecological protective membrane on the skin, which protects, repairs and strengthens the first defensive line for skin.

With a strong hydrophilic feature, phytocollagen is a very good natural moisturizing ingredient. Unlike general covering moisturizer, Plant collagen can promote the keratinocytes of skin to produce a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which exerts a moisturizing effect, penetrates and infiltrates the stratum corneum, making the skin more transparent and moisturized, and forming a skin self-protection mechanism. This will enhance skin elasticity, eliminate small wrinkles, improves the texture of skin, and isolates external toxic and harmful substances.

The natural water-soluble yeast β-glucan can bind to the receptor CR3 of yeast β-glucan on the Langerhans cells in the epidermis, activate macrophages, and produce various cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, GM-CSF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and angiogenic factors (AF), etc., thus improving skinimmunity. Yeast glucan also has the function of anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, eliminating free radical, moisturizing and accelerating stratum corneum renewal, which helps the skin resist external mechanical and chemical stimuli and facilitates the recovery of injuries. An increase in epidermal growth factor can promote the production of collagen and elastin, thus improving the exterior of skin and eliminating fine line wrinkles.

Prebiotics promotes the growth of epidermal probiotics through selective nutrient supply mechanisms, inhibits the growth of harmful flora through competitive mechanisms, establishes and maintains a stable and healthy skin micro-ecological system, maintains healthy skin pH, and reduces inflammation and allergic reactions. .

NanoActive RAL

Nanoactive RAL, INCI name: Retinal, CAS: 116-31-4.

Product Name: Nanoactive RAL, BioaActive Retinaldehyde; BioActive Retinal; Soluble Retinal; Soluble Retinaldehyde;Nano Liposomal

Nanoactive RAL is a novel retinal nanoliposome formulation (NanoLiposomal RAL).

A new liposome preparation. RAL has the characteristics of retinoic acid in the skin, and is better tolerated than retinoic acid. It directly interacts with protein receptors in cells, stimulates epidermis to accelerate regeneration, increases the thickness of the stratum corneum, and makes the skin tighter and more orderly. It also accelerates the production of collagen in the dermis layer, prevents the damage of UV to collagen, inhibits the increase of MMP caused by UV, and makes the skin more elastic; the unique aldehyde-based structure has a very good effect on P. acnes, etc., and effectively improves acne skin. Large amounts of retinal, retinol, retinol retinate (15498-86-9), HPR(893412-73-2) and other Vitamin A kind products of pharmaceutical grade are available.

 

Description:

Retinaldehyde (RAL), also known as vitamin A aldehyde, is a derivative of retinol after oxidation. It is formed by oxidative cleavage of β-carotene. If  reduced, retinol can be attained; If oxidized, retinoic acid can be attained.Retinoic acid。”. The role of retinoic acid (Vitamin A) in skin diseaseis very extensive, but due to local irritation, its clinical application is limited to some extent.Retinaldehyde is an intermediate metabolite of natural retinoic acid and has similar biological activity as retinoic acid. But the skin is significantly more tolerant to retinoic acid.

The main forms of vitamin A and their interconversion

Retinal has many target on the skin. It can be used as a skin care product to produce a variety of effects such as anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, whitening, anti-wrinkle, acne, keratin, etc. It is an emerging high-efficiency natural active substance. Retinal is hardly soluble in water while easy to be oxidized and discolored, which limits its application in cosmetics. Nano actives with a particle size of less than 30 nm developed by nano-transmission system (NDS) enable retinals to be steadily wrapped in nano-carriers, greatly improving the absorption efficiency and bioavailability. This overcomes the original defects and maintain the advantages and enables a more convenient and wider range of uses.

Skin care effect

The large use of non-physiological doses of exogenous retinoic acid can cause an overload of the retinoic acid-dependent pathway in the skin, causing adverse reactions such as skin irritation. RAL is a natural metabolite of retinol and a direct precursor of retinoic acid, and it also has similar biological activity to retinoic acid. The advantage of RAL compared with retinoic acid is its multi-directional metabolism, that is, the excess RAL can be rapidly reduced to retinol, then stored and inactivated in the form of retinol, and this “reverse metabolism” is not present in retinoic acid. After it is absorbed by the skin, most of it is converted to retinol vinegar stored for slow release, and a small amount of RAL is oxidized to retinoic acid by keratinocytes in differentiation-dependent manner, while a very small amount of retinoic acid is can exert significant biological effects in cells. This can avoid skin adverse reactions caused by high doses of retinoic acid. Clinical observations also show that topical RAL creams are well tolerated compared with retinoic acid and can be applied to sensitive areas. The topical RAL cannot absorbed by human blood. The levels of various vitamin A acids in the blood also cannot be affected.

RAL needs to be activated by the conversion of enzymes in keratinocytes to retinoic acid, so RAL has similar biological activity as retinoic acid. One of the indicators of retinoic acid activity is to induce the expression of retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP-2) in cells. External RAL can evidently induce the expression of CRABP-2 mRNA and protein. The topical natural retinoic acidcan also induce the expression of nuclear receptor in retinoic acid . Like retinoic acid, RAL also functions to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. It can increase epidermal DNA synthesis, increase epidermis thickness, induce 50kD keratin, and reduce 7OkD keratin mRNA expression. Inducing positive keratinization, reducing 65kD keratin mRNA expression, and increasing filaggrin and loricin mRNA expression. In addition, RAL is also involved in the regulation of neovascularization in the skin, inhibiting the production of vascular endothelial growth factor by keratinocytes. It can repair the elastic fibers and collagen damage induced by UVA. RAL is also capable of dissolving acne and the direct sterilizing effect towards propionibacterium acnes. Natural retinoic acid play an important role in epidermal differentiation, dermal remodeling and curing skin inflammation. Retinaldehyde as an important intermediate metabolite of natural retinoic acid has both biological activity similar to that of retinoic acid and is well tolerated by the skin, thus it is given wider application in cosmetics.
