Vitamin A is a fat-soluble substance that contains retinol, retinoic acid and provitamin A compounds, such as retinyl palmitate. Vitamin A is essential for our vision, for healthy skin, teeth and bones and maintenance of the immune system. In addition, vitamin A is an antioxidant. It prevents the formation of free radicals that damage the cells. Retinyl palmitate and retinol are two forms of vitamin A. They are retinoids. Retinol is the purest form of vitamin A that is more potent than retinyl palmitate.
