D-Panthenol 99 +% pure

What is D-Panthenol?

Panthenol (also called pantothenol) is the alcohol analogue of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is therefore a provitamin B5. In the body it is rapidly oxidized to pantothenic acid. It is a viscous liquid that is transparent at room temperature. Panthenol is used as a moisturizer and wound healing cream in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

What is Panthenol used for?

In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, panthenol is a moisturizing liquid used in creams, ointments, lotions, shampoos, nasal sprays, eye drops, lozenges and in contact lens cleaning solutions.

In topical forms, it is used to treat sunburns, mild burns, minor lesions, and other minor skin conditions (at concentrations of 2-5%). It improves hydration, reduces itching and inflammation of the skin, improves elasticity and accelerates skin healing. For this purpose it is sometimes combined with allantoin, it is mainly used in the treatment of diaper rash in infants and is also recommended by tattoo artists after a tattoo.

It binds easily to hair shafts and is therefore a common ingredient in shampoos and hair conditioners (at concentrations of 0.1–1%). It coats the hair and adheres to their surface, lubricating the hair shaft and giving it a shiny appearance.

Panthenol readily penetrates the skin and mucous membranes (including the intestinal wall), where it is rapidly oxidized to pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it binds and absorbs efficiently in water. It is also used in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A, which plays a role in a wide variety of enzymatic reactions and thus cell growth.
