ETHYL DICARBOETHOXY PANTOTHENATE

Description

Ethyl Dicarboethoxy Pantothenate is a derivative of pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, engineered for enhanced skin and hair penetration. This ester form of panthenol exhibits superior stability and absorption compared to its parent compound. When applied topically, it readily converts to panthenol in the skin, delivering the benefits of vitamin B5 more effectively.

This ingredient functions as a potent humectant and moisturizer, attracting and retaining water in the skin and hair. It helps improve skin barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss and enhancing overall hydration. In haircare formulations, it can improve hair elasticity, shine, and manageability while providing protection against environmental stressors.

Ethyl Dicarboethoxy Pantothenate has shown promise in promoting wound healing and reducing inflammation, making it beneficial for compromised or sensitive skin. Its molecular structure allows for better compatibility with various cosmetic formulations, including oil-based products. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to a wide range of skincare and haircare products, from serums and moisturizers to shampoos and conditioners. Its efficacy and stability contribute to improved product performance and extended shelf life.
