D-panthenol is mainly used as a moisturizer and skin conditioner in skin care products. It can enhance the moisturizing effect of the product, relieve dry skin and enhance the skin's hydration capacity. It also has anti-inflammatory and repair effects.
D-Panthenol is a chemical extracted from vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid. It is naturally present in our bodies and also in plants and animals. Panthenol is a precursor of vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid, so it is often called provitamin B5. Compared with pantothenic acid, panthenol can penetrate deeper into the skin due to its chemical structure, so panthenol is a more popular beauty ingredient in the cosmetics industry than vitamin B5.
D-Panthenol is a colorless to slightly yellowish transparent viscous liquid, which may crystallize when stored at low temperatures for a long time. It has a slight special odor and is hygroscopic. D-Panthenol is easily soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol, and insoluble in ether, chloroform, oils, and fats. It is relatively stable in air and under light.
D-Panthenol is widely used in health products, food, and cosmetics industries. In the health care products industry, as a B vitamin, it participates in metabolism; in the food industry, it is used as a nutritional supplement and fortifier to promote the metabolism of human protein, fat, and carbohydrates, maintain the skin and mucous membranes, improve hair gloss, and enhance immunity; in the cosmetics industry: the skin care effect is manifested as a deeply penetrating moisturizer, stimulating the growth of epithelial cells, promoting wound healing, and having an anti-inflammatory effect; the hair care effect is manifested as a long-lasting moisturizing function, preventing split ends and damage, increasing hair density, and improving hair gloss; the nail care effect is manifested as improving the hydration of nails and giving nails flexibility.
D-panthenol, as a small molecule moisturizer, can penetrate into the stratum corneum, increase the water content of the stratum corneum, and reduce transcutaneous water loss, thus having a strong moisturizing effect.
D-panthenol promotes epidermal regeneration by enhancing epidermal differentiation and lipid synthesis, and plays a significant role in maintaining and repairing skin barrier function.
In addition to skin care, D-panthenol is also used in shampoo and conditioner. It can moisturize hair for a long time, improve hair gloss, prevent dryness and breakage, and repair damaged hair.
