D-Panthenol 75 W: The Regeneration Booster for Skin and Hair
Whether in daily moisturizers, regenerating hair treatments, or as an emergency remedy in wound ointments—D-Panthenol 75 W is an indispensable active ingredient in cosmetics manufacturing. As a 75% aqueous solution, this provitamin B5 is particularly easy to formulate and penetrates deeply into the target structures.
What Is D-Panthenol?
D-Panthenol is the synthetically produced precursor to D-pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).
What makes it special: Thanks to its high substantivity, it has excellent absorption properties. Once it has passed through the skin barrier or hair follicles, the body converts it into active vitamin B5.
The Triple Action of Provitamin B5
D-Panthenol 75 W offers a wide range of beneficial properties for your skincare formulations:
Skin soothing & wound healing: It supports cell regeneration and promotes the healing of irritated or damaged skin.
Intensive moisture retention: As a humectant, it preserves the skin’s elasticity and protects against dryness.
Shine & protection for hair: It adheres to the hair shaft, smooths the structure, and improves combability without weighing the hair down.
Processing Guidelines for Formulators
To ensure that D-panthenol can exert its full effect, the following points should be observed during production:
Heat Sensitivity: D-panthenol is sensitive to heat. Therefore, stir the clear to slightly yellowish liquid into the cooled, finished emulsion (active ingredient phase) last.
Optimal pH: The stability of the active ingredient is highest within a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0.
