In Skincare
D-Panthenol acts as a humectant, helping to attract and retain moisture. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, serums, gels and other hydrating formulations to help leave skin feeling soft, smooth and conditioned.
In Haircare
D-Panthenol is a popular addition to shampoos, conditioners and leave-in hair products. It helps attract and retain moisture and can help improve softness, smoothness and manageability while enhancing the appearance of shine without leaving the hair feeling greasy.
Formulating with D-Panthenol
