Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B5) Liquid

Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B5) is a powerful, multi-functional active widely used in skincare and haircare formulations for its deep hydration, soothing, and repair properties. As the alcohol form of pantothenic acid, it penetrates easily into the skin and hair, where it converts into Vitamin B5 — helping to improve moisture retention, support skin regeneration, and enhance overall health and appearance.
