Technical & procurement detail
What Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is and what it does+
Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) is an ester of all-trans retinoic acid that binds retinoid receptors without prior conversion. It is oil-soluble, light- and oxygen-sensitive, and is commonly supplied as a dilute solution in a carrier.
Concentration basis and stability protection define the offer+
Most trade material is a 10% or lower solution in a carrier, so quotes must be compared on active basis. The active is light-sensitive, so opaque, airless packaging and antioxidant protection belong in the formulation plan.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
