Cosmetic-grade DL-panthenol powder (pro-vitamin B5, 100g) for DIY skincare and haircare formulations.
How It Works
Panthenol is the precursor of vitamin B5. It attracts and holds moisture, and once applied to skin it is converted into pantothenic acid, which supports the skin's barrier. In hair care it coats the hair shaft and helps it hold moisture.
Key Benefits
- Hydrating and soothing for skin
