Description - D-Panthenol, the biologically active enantiomer of panthenol, is a premium, water-soluble form of Pro-Vitamin B5 that transforms into pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) upon absorption by the skin and hair. This odorless, transparent, and highly viscous liquid is derived from natural sources and plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier integrity. Known for its exceptional soothing and moisturizing abilities, D-Panthenol is widely used in high-performance formulations for both skincare and hair care. It is a provitamin that supports cell regeneration and enhances the suppleness and appearance of the skin, while also improving hair shine, manageability, and strength. D-Panthenol is found in luxury lotions, ointments, serums, conditioners, eye drops, nasal sprays, and contact lens solutions due to its superior biocompatibility and therapeutic value.
