D-panthenol – a moisture boost for skin and hair
D-panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is one of the most effective and versatile ingredients in skin and hair care. This powerful moisturizer penetrates deep into the skin and hair, hydrating from within and providing long-lasting results. We use D-panthenol in all of our shampoo bars and conditioner bars to give your hair the ultimate moisture boost.
What is D-panthenol?
D-panthenol is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) used in skin and hair care. When D-panthenol is applied to the skin or hair, it is converted to pantothenic acid, which is an essential vitamin for cell metabolism and tissue repair. D-panthenol is water-soluble and easily penetrates the skin and hair.
How does D-panthenol work?
D-panthenol works in several ways:
- Humectant – Attracts and binds moisture
- Penetrates deeply – Reaches the inner layers of hair and skin
- Converted to B5 – Becomes an active vitamin in the body
- Forms a film – Creates a protective barrier
- Improves absorption – Helps other ingredients penetrate
Benefits of D-panthenol for hair
1. Deep hydration
D-panthenol penetrates deep into the hair shaft and moisturizes from within. It binds moisture and keeps the hair moisturized for a long time, making the hair soft and manageable.
2. Gives volume and fullness to hair
D-panthenol coats each hair strand with a thin film that makes the hair thicker and fuller. This gives natural volume without weighing the hair down.
3. Improves hair elasticity
By moisturizing and strengthening the hair, D-panthenol improves its elasticity. The hair becomes more flexible and less prone to breakage.
4. Provides shine and luster
D-panthenol closes the hair cuticles and creates a smooth surface that reflects light. The hair becomes shiny and silky.
5. Reduces frizz
By moisturizing and closing the hair cuticles, D-panthenol helps reduce frizz and make hair more manageable.
6. Strengthens hair
D-panthenol penetrates the cortex (inner layer) of the hair and strengthens it from within. This makes the hair more resistant to damage.
7. Repairs damaged hair
D-panthenol helps repair damaged hair from coloring, heat treatment or chemical treatments by moisturizing and strengthening the hair.
8. Soothes the scalp
D-panthenol has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated scalps and can reduce itching and redness.
