D-Panthenol (Vitamin B5) has been used in formulas because it supports the skin’s barrier function thus improving hydration and maintains cells that create collagen. When Panthenol is applied topically it penetrates into lower skin layers and is absorbed into skin cells and processed into Pantothenic Acid (commonly known as Vitamin B5). Because it is absorbed deeply into the skin, it adds essential moisture and also has an anti- inflammatory effect. Panthanol comes as two isomers with the D-isomer being the only biologically active form so we only use Dexpanthanol which 100% the active D-isomer form to ensure the maximum benefit is obtained.
