Panthenol is one of the most widely used ingredients in both skincare and haircare because of its versatility.
Also known as Provitamin B5, panthenol is commonly used in formulas focused on moisturizing, soothing, conditioning, and barrier support. It is a familiar ingredient for consumers and a practical ingredient for chemists.
On CM Studio+ Marketplace, SpecKare® DPA 75 is listed with the INCI name Panthenol.
Why panthenol is useful in formulation
Panthenol is often used when a formula needs to support hydration, softness, and comfort. In skincare, it is commonly found in moisturizers, barrier creams, serums, after-sun products, and calming formulas. In haircare, it is used in conditioners, leave-ins, scalp products, and strengthening treatments.
