D-Panthenol Powder (Pro-Vitamin B5)

D-Panthenol, also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, is a highly effective humectant, moisturizer, and skin-soothing agent widely used in skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations. Once applied, it converts into pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), which plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin and hair.

In cosmetics, D-Panthenol is valued for its ability to:

Improve skin hydration by binding water into the skin

Promote skin barrier repair and reduce irritation

Add shine, softness, and strength to hair

Reduce inflammation in sensitive skin formulations

This makes it a go-to ingredient in serums, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and soothing gels.
