What is it

What is D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5)?

D-Panthenol, also known as Provitamin B5, is a stable, water-soluble form of pantothenic acid that converts to active Vitamin B5 once absorbed into the skin. It has a long history of use in dermatological and medical preparations for its skin-conditioning and healing-supportive properties. It is particularly valuable in formulations that include exfoliating or active ingredients, where it buffers the potential stress of treatment.
