I can't find the message in the archives. Does anyone remember, Angie, Maurice? Thanks, Hi and Maurice and All, Quick message back...today is my baby daughter's 18th birthday, so we are having a little celebration soon! I actually have a couple of manufacturers, but my primary concern, which should be a concern of any reseller or repackager is around the shelflife of any type of vitamin A product---they are all very fragile and subject to oxidation very quickly. If not packaged properly, they will be rendered useless and the supplier and consumer will be spending lots of money for nothing. The recommendation of the manufacturer is to package under nitrogen in a lined aluminum bottle and keep cool. How many people are doing that? BASF carries Retistar (contains retinol) which is pretty decent for shelflife and not quite so finicky (see data sheets from BASF). But I have some ideas for retinyl palmitate and have discussed them with BASF a good bit...but with our recent move just have not had time to pursue the idea. It's one of those things I plan to do though With any of the vitamin A products there are some cautions around usage---I want to look into that more as well.
