D-Panthenol

D-Panthenol, also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin derivative prized for its ability to deeply hydrate and condition both skin and hair. Once applied, it converts to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), where it helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity, and support overall skin health. In hair care, it coats and smooths strands to boost shine, softness, and manageability. We use D-Panthenol in cleansers, conditioners, and lotions to deliver lasting hydration and resilience.
