D-Panthenol Powder
D-Panthenol Powder (Vitamin B5) is a powerful moisturizing, soothing, and repairing active used in both skincare and haircare formulations. This high-purity powder form converts to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) once applied to the skin, where it deeply hydrates, calms irritation, and promotes barrier recovery.
Known as the “skin vitamin,” D-Panthenol enhances elasticity, smoothness, and softness while reducing redness and inflammation. In haircare, it improves shine, reduces brittleness, and enhances moisture retention in each strand.
