Use topical creams with 1% to 5% of panthenol concentrations in them to see better results for your skin. Products with these concentrations are proven to improve hydration and absorption in your skin. Panthenol is an odourless, slightly bitter, highly viscous, transparent, and colourless liquid at room temperature, [5] but salts of pantothenic acid (for example sodium pantothenate) are powders that are typically white. It is easily soluble in water and alcohol, moderately soluble in diethyl ether, soluble in chloroform (1:100), [5] in propylene glycol, and slightly soluble in glycerin. Panthenol is considered to be safe for its indicated uses. Given that panthenol is generally well tolerated for most skin types and rarely causes irritation or sensitivity it is safe for use in most formulations.

Who should use it: In general, panthenol is good for all skin types, and particularly those with dry or flaky skin. Kehrl, W., Sonnemann, U., and Dethlefsen, U.

Panthenol converts to vitamin B5 when applied to the skin which is why it is also known as Pro vitamin b5. Panthenol comes in two enantiomers: D, and L. Only D-panthenol (dexpanthenol) is biologically active, however both forms have moisturizing properties. For cosmetic use, panthenol comes either in D form, or as a racemic mixture of D and L ( DL-panthenol).

Panthenol is an emollient that interacts with the lipids (such as ceramides) that form the protective barrier on the outer layer of the skin. So it has the ability to restore barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss, which means your skin can retain more moisture and combat dryness. Encourages skin recovery Panthenol is a humectant, which refers to the ability to hold and bind to water. Panthenol also has the added benefit of being an emollient which means that it helps to keep the water in the skin and hair, preventing it from being lost to the environment. Provitamin B5 is best known for being a humectant. Humectants are substances that retain and preserve moisture. Provitamin B5 protects the skin’s barrier and helps the skin to retain its moisture levels and shield it from irritation. By applying a product with Provitamin B5, you will maximise your skin’s hydration while improving its softness and elasticity. Waterloh, E. and Groth, K. H. [Objectification of the efficacy of an ointment for joint injuries using a volumetric method]. Arzneimittelforschung. 1983;33(5):792-795. View abstract. The FDA has also said that it’s safe when used in your common makeup or personal care products. Studies have shown that there is a very low risk of getting irritated skin if you use panthenol. This could be due to the relatively low levels found in your everyday products. ‌

CIR Safety Review: The CIR Expert Panel reviewed studies that found that products containing Panthenol did not induce significant skin irritation or sensitization. Significant skin irritation was also not observed with 100% Panthenol. Based on ultraviolet light absorption data, the CIR Expert Panel did not considere Panthenol or Pantothenic Acid to be photoirritants or photosensitizers. Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity data were not available for the safety assessment of Panthenol and Pantothenic Acid. The low concentrations of use of these ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products and the requirement of vitamin B5 for normal metabolism, suggested that the dietary exposure levels of this ingredient would greatly exceed the amount that could be absorbed from cosmetic use. A salt of Pantothenic Acid, calcium pantothenate, did not cause developmental effects. Schmuth, M., Wimmer, M. A., Hofer, S., Sztankay, A., Weinlich, G., Linder, D. M., Elias, P. M., Fritsch, P.
