dl-Panthenol USP (Powder)

INCI Panthenol What It Does Panthenol, also known as Pro-vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin commonly used in skincare and haircare products. It is known for its ability to hydrate and soothe the skin, and improve hair strength and shine. After all, it’s what Pantene Pro-V is based on! When applied topically, panthenol is converted into pantothenic acid, which helps to maintain the skin’s barrier function and supports healthy hair growth by improving moisture retention and elasticity. What do DL and USP mean? Our version is called dl-Panthenol because it contains two structures of panthenol, dextro and levo. The dextro form is great for skincare because it’s the biologically active version of panthenol. This form gets converted to pantothenic acid inside the skin. On the contrary, both the dextro and levo forms work to strengthen the hair. This makes our panthenol ideal for use in skincare and haircare formulations, but it allows for a 100% powder format without unnecessary additive
