Description - DL-Panthenol is a high-purity, plant-derived provitamin B5 in a fine, white crystalline powder form. A stable racemic blend of D-Panthenol and L-Panthenol, it is easily absorbed by the skin and hair, where D-Panthenol is enzymatically converted to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5)—a vital component found in all living cells. Renowned for its superior moisturizing, soothing, and reparative properties, DL-Panthenol enhances skin hydration, improves elasticity, reduces transepidermal water loss, and supports the skin’s natural barrier function. In hair care, it penetrates deeply to improve strength, shine, and manageability while protecting against environmental and thermal damage. A trusted ingredient in luxury formulations, D,L-Panthenol delivers visible softness and vitality to both skin and hair, making it indispensable in professional-grade cosmetics and clean beauty innovations.
