D-Panthenol
D-Panthenol = a skin + hair hydrator and healer. Think of it as a “comfort vitamin” for your skin and hair, helping them stay moisturized, soothed, and protected.
D-Panthenol (also known as provitamin B5) is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). When it’s applied to the skin or hair, the body converts it into pantothenic acid.
It’s a popular ingredient in skincare, haircare, and pharmaceutical products because of its excellent hydrating, soothing, and repairing properties.
