DESCRIPTION: D-Panthenol is a multi-functional active ingredient in skincare and haircare formulations. It is valued in both skin and hair care for its moisturizing properties. It has skin-soothing, and anti-inflammatory benefits, which are essential in formulations for sensitive skin and irritated skin. D-Panthenol gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance. D-Panthenol is converted to Pantothenic acid within the skin and assists in the maintenance and repair of all cells. It also synthesizes fatty acids and sphingolipids, which are essential for stratum corneum lipid layers and cell membrane integrity & fluidity. As a humectant in hair care formulations, it strengthens the hair against the damaging effects of combing and pulling and deeply penetrates for much-needed moisture. D-Panthenol volumizes the hair, and anti-static increases suppleness, and sheen. Its texture-improving properties make it especially beneficial for physically and chemically damaged hair.

* What is the difference between D-Panthenol and DL-Panthenol? D-Panthenol has a moisturizing effect on the skin. It also is converted into pantothenate in the skin with further benefits. DL-Panthenol is a lit racemic mixture of D-Panthenol and L-Panthenol at a ratio of 50:50 –  which means that DL Panthenol has 50% D-Panthenol and 50% L-Panthenol. For the characteristics of moisturization and improvement of hair structure and sheen, DL-Panthenol has the same activity as D-Panthenol. DL-Panthenol is preferred in hair formulations for two reasons; 1). It is more economical, and 2). The hair is dead and therefore, cannot make any conversion of D-Panthenol.

APPLICATIONS: Ideal for use in skincare creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. Formulations geared toward wound healing, moisturization for dry skin, barrier building, hair damage repair, anti-ageing, etc
