Panthenol is a multi-functional active ingredient that would be useful in most skin care formulations. Its efficacy has been substantiated in numerous peer-reviewed journals. The biologically active form of Panthenol<\/a>, D-panthenol<\/a> (EU<\/a>), is the stable alcohol analogue of vitamin B5, pantothenic acid<\/a> (EU<\/a>), and is quickly converted to vitamin B5 (pantothenate) in the body. Pantothenic acid is present in all living cells and acts as an essential nutritional component due to its role in the formation of acetyl-co-enzyme A in the early stages of metabolism.<\/p>\n

The main role of acetyl-co-enzyme A is to provide activated acetic acid into the citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle). This produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Co-enzyme A<\/a> also transfers to other molecules such as Nacetyl-glucosamine<\/a> (EU<\/a>) and acetylcholine<\/a> (EU<\/a>) to help in the production of steroids and the synthesis of fatty acids. Coenzyme A also helps the body detoxify foreign substances.<\/p>\n

During synthetic preparation of panthenol, the racemic mixture (DL-panthenol, containing 50:50 of each form) is formed. Biological activity occurs only for D-Panthenol (Dex-Panthenol); literature methods for synthesis of only D-panthenol exist. For cosmetic use, Panthenol can be obtained in the D form, or as the racemic mixture. D-Panthenol is a highly viscous transparent liquid at room temperature. However, DL-Panthenol and salts of pantothenic acid are white powders. Both forms are soluble in water, alcohol, propylene glycol<\/a> (EU<\/a>), ether<\/a> (EU<\/a>), chloroform<\/a> (EU<\/a>), and slightly soluble in glycerin<\/a> (EU<\/a>).<\/p>\n

8 Benefits of Panthenol<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Repairs and strengthens damaged hair, thickens hair, reduces split ends and increases the tensile strength of the hair
\n2. Stimulates wound healing.\u00a0Synergy with zinc oxide is claimed.
\n3. Enhances skin barrier repair and reduces inflammation after sodium lauryl sulphate-induced irritation.
\n4. Anti-inflammatory activity.\u00a0Can increase sun-protection factor (SPF).
\n5. Panthenol stimulates the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts and can accelerate cell turnover.
\n6. Has anti-aging benefits.\u00a0Synergism with niacinamide (Vitamin B-3) is claimed.
\n7. It\u2019s a penetrating moisturizer.\u00a0Can penetrate and hydrate nails and hair.
\n8. Protects lips against solar-induced herpes.<\/p>\n
