Product Introduction
Panthenol (D-Panthenol), CAS 16485-10-2, is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) and serves as a provitamin that converts to Vitamin B5 upon absorption into the skin.

Its unique ability to promote fibroblast proliferation and epithelialization makes it essential in wound healing and anti-aging formulations. Panthenol is widely incorporated into facial moisturizers, anti-aging creams, after-sun lotions, shampoos, conditioners, leave-in hair treatments, and baby care products worldwide.
