Thanks, everyone. I will think on these things.There could be some
angle I'm missing (for example, maybe the retinol palmitate isn't
harmful when mixed with one of the other ingredients? Or maybe it's a
different form of it that isn't harmful?). I don't know and am not a
chemist; am just trying to make sure that anything I use or recommend
to someone else is as close to 100% safe as possible. I have friends
who check labels and ingredients, and want to be prepared in case such
a question is posed to me, too. I'll definitely send my question to
service...
