D-panthenol Gel Provitamin B5 - 5G

Features

Description

D-Panthenol Gel is a water-soluble form of provitamin B5 used in haircare and skincare formulation to improve softness, slip, and hydrated feel. It is supplied as a very viscous gel, which makes it practical for measured addition at low use levels in shampoos, conditioners, lotions, creams, and facial products.

Because of its thick texture, it is easiest to handle when pre-dispersed in a little water before adding to a batch. This is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished product. Why we love it: We choose to stock D-Panthenol Gel because it is one of those reliable multi-use actives that works beautifully across both hair and skin formulas.

It gives makers a simple way to improve feel and finish without overcomplicating the formula. Learn all about panthenol here: Formulating With D Panthenol .
