D-Panthenol Gel (ProVitamin B5)

D-Panthenol Gel (Dexpanthenol) – Vitamin B5 Pro-Vitamin for Skincare & Haircare

Derived from natural sources, D-Panthenol (also known as dexpanthenol) is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). As a pro-vitamin, it is rapidly converted into active Vitamin B5 upon absorption, making it a potent bioactive ingredient for cosmetic formulations.

Vitamin B5 is a naturally occurring substance found in all living cells, where it plays an essential role in cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration. This makes D-Panthenol a powerful addition to DIY skincare and haircare products, helping to soothe, moisturize, and support the skin's natural barrier function while improving hair shine and manageability.
