Applications:
D-PANTHENOL is a viscous liquid derivative of pantothenic acid and has been specially developed for topical application,it’s alcoholic form is easily penetrated into skin, hair and finger nails.. D-PANTHENOL is regarded as multi-active ingredient for cosmetics thanks to its physio-chemical properties in:
*Penetrating relatively deep into the skin
*Water binding and/or water retention
*Being transformed to pantothenic acid in skin and hair after topical administration creating pro-vitamin B5 activities.
D-PANTHENOL may be regarded as ideal cosmetic ingredient which may improve skin and hair care as well as protect against environmental stress. The cosmetological actions of D-PANTHENOL are based on following findings:
*Improvement of the mitotic activity (cell regeneration)
*Acceleration of epithelisation and granulation after burns, eczemas ulcerations, radiotherapy and plastic surgery.
*Improving symptoms of inflammations .
*Strengthening of hair roots and hair shafts.
*Protection against ammonia produced napkin rash.
