D-Panthenol Gel is naturally derived from vitamin B5. It is suitable for DIY hair care and skincare products.
Also referred to as dexpanthenol, this product is the pro-vitamin of D-pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), which means that the body converts it from D-panthenol into the vitamin B5 after absorption. Pantothenic acid is a natural substance present in all living cells and it plays an important role in cell regeneration.

Haven’t used it yet but love the fact I can buy small quantities to begin with
I love this active in skincare & haircare. The only downside is that it’s very difficult to measure it out due to its very thick viscosity
