DL-Panthenol

« Back to Glossary Index

DL-Panthenol, also known as Vitamin B5, is a stable, racemic mixture of D-Panthenol and L-Panthenol. This synthetic variant of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) is widely utilized in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations due to its exceptional ability to moisturize, heal, and regenerate the skin. Upon topical application or ingestion, DL-Panthenol is readily absorbed by the skin and converted into pantothenic acid, a vital component in coenzyme A synthesis, playing a pivotal role in cellular metabolism. Its hydrating properties help maintain skin elasticity and softness, while its healing capabilities aid in treating minor skin irritations and wounds, making it a versatile ingredient in skincare and haircare products.
