D-Panthenol (Vitamin B5)

What Is D-Panthenol?

D-Panthenol, also known as Dexpanthenol or Provitamin B5, is a biologically active precursor to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). It is primarily synthesized for use across the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. As an alcohol analogue of pantothenic acid, its core active component functions as a vital precursor to coenzyme A (CoA), which is essential for acetylation reactions and the synthesis of acetylcholine within the body.

Product Applications

Skin Barrier & Wound Healing

It acts as a humectant that penetrates the skin to retain moisture, stimulates epithelialization, and promotes granulation to accelerate wound healing and relieve itching.

Anti-Inflammatory Protection

It helps mitigate signs of inflammation and provides protective effects against environmental stressors, including UVB-induced inflammation and oxidative stress.

Hair & Nail Care

It improves hair elasticity and moisture retention, preventing split ends and breakage, while also enhancing nail hydration and flexibility.

Gastrointestinal Motility

In pharmaceutical applications, it acts as a cholinergic agent that stimulates the synthesis of acetylcholine, thereby increasing lower intestinal motility and aiding in the prevention of postoperative ileus.
