Ingredients Details
Vitamin B5
Common Name(s): Panthenol / vitamin b5,pro-vitamin humectant conditioner,wound healing active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Deeply hydrates by binding water in the viable epidermis (not just the sc surface), stimulates keratinocyte proliferation for wound healing and barrier repair, and coats hair strands for conditioning and shine.
Why It's Used: Panthenol penetrates far deeper than glycerin due to its smaller size โ reaching the viable epidermis where it converts to pantothenic acid (coa precursor) for direct metabolic support of skin cell function.
How It Works: D-panthenol is oxidised to pantothenic acid by skin alcoholic dehydrogenase after sc penetration โ incorporated into coenzyme a (coa) โ acetyl-coa for fatty acid synthesis supporting ceramide production. the polyol oh groups provide direct humectant water binding during transit.
