What is Panthenol?
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), is a compound widely used in cosmetic and personal care products. It can be found in various natural sources, such as whole grains and vegetables (like broccoli and spinach). It can also be produced through fermentation processes from natural sugars.

Properties of Panthenol
Panthenol or provitamin B5 offers multiple benefits for both skin and hair. Its moisturizing ability allows it to attract and retain moisture, resulting in deep and long-lasting hydration. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritation and redness, promoting smoother and healthier skin. In hair, panthenol improves texture, increasing softness and manageability while strengthening hair structure and reducing breakage. For these reasons, it is a highly valued ingredient in the development of cosmetic and personal care products.
