DL-Panthenol

DL-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) is a water-soluble vitamin that is a powerful humectant. It attracts and retains moisture in skin and hair, making it a popular addition to lotions, creams, facial serums, conditioners, and shampoos. It is hydrating because it draws moisture to the skin and hair; it can soothe and condition skin and hair and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin types.

Usage rates vary depending on intended use and formulation but typically stay below 2% because, above that, Dl Panthenol (Vitamin B5) can create a sticky feeling in leave-on products.
Lotions/Creams 0.5% – 2%
Facial Serums 0.5% – 1%
Hair Conditioners 1% – 5%
Shampoos/Cleansers 0.5% – 2%
