Retinyl palmitate?

[brookea11]

I recently realized the IT cosmetics concealer I use contains retinyl palmitate. It is listed pretty far down in the ingrediants but I am wondering if it is bad to wear this product in the sun? I know retinol should not be worn in the sun and I have worn this concealer in the sun for many times already 😕

I hadn’t thought about it, so thanks for bringing up the question as I use the same product. This was the most interesting article I found (make sure to read the comment from Barbara at the very end): https://www.annmariegianni.com/ingredient-watch-list-should-you-avoid-retinyl-palmitate-in-your-suns...

Hi! I use the IT CC cream as my foundation and have not had issues with the sun (I use naturally-made moisturizer without SPF). I'm inside a lot during the work week but recently I was outside on a sunny fall day in Indiana for 6 hours and did not burn. You may wish to proceed with caution and limit your sun exposure until you know how your skin reacts. Hope this helps. 🙂
