Panthenol is a real jewel for cosmetics, usable for both skin and hair, and present in many beauty products for its moisturizing qualities.
Philip Martin's uses this precious ingredient in Hair and Skin Care.
Where is it?
Panthenol, also called provitamin B5, is present in some foods, supplements. It arises from the pantothenol molecule which, after a chemical reaction, is transformed into vitamin B5. It has an alcohol-like chemical structure, and is used to help moisturize and smooth the skin and hair, from the inside in its ingestible form and from the outside in its topical form.
The pantothenic acid of which it is composed is produced by plants and other organisms but not by man. Fortunately, however, it is present in many foods such as: meat, legumes, vegetables, honey and egg yolks.
