DL-Panthenol (Provitamin B5 Powder) is a water-soluble, crystalline powder, that is a popular ingredient in personal care products. DL-Panthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, and is renowned for its ability to improve the moisturizing qualities of formulations.
The high solubility, stability, and non-toxic nature of the powder make it safe for diverse cosmetic formulations. Using DL-Panthenol for skin products aids in repairing damaged skin and hair by stimulating cell growth and regeneration.
We carry DL-Panthenol in bulk sizes.

I have very thin fine hair that tends to get dry easily. DL-panthenol is added to all of my hair products (shampoo & conditioner bars, hair masks, and leave-in conditioner spray). It strengthens my hair and seems to help it retain moisture. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth. A little goes a long way but I would never want to be without it.
