Ingredients Details
Panthenol
Common Name(s): Provitamin b5,d-panthenol,dl-panthenol,d-pantothenyl alcohol,(r)-2,4-dihydroxy-n-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3,3-dimethylbutanamide
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Panthenol deeply moisturizes skin and hair, soothes irritation, accelerates wound healing, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves hair elasticity and shine.
Why It's Used: It is used because it is exceptionally versatile, working in both skin and hair formulations. it is gentle enough for sensitive and post-procedure skin, and converts to the active vitamin b5 within the skin.
How It Works: Panthenol penetrates skin and hair, where it is oxidized to pantothenic acid (vitamin b5), a coenzyme a precursor essential to metabolism. in skin, it acts as a humectant and stimulates fibroblast proliferation. in hair, it coats the shaft, improving manageability.
