Feb 07, 2025

What is vitamin B5?

 

Vitamin B5 is also called pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 pantothenic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, barrier repair and wound healing effects. It is not only used for skin moisturizing and repairing, but also used in hair and nail care products.


However, since pantothenic acid is not very stable, its alcohol derivative, panthenol, is basically added to cosmetics to make it more stable, and panthenol has better transdermal absorption than vitamin B5.

 

 

Both pantothenic acid and panthenol have many hydroxyl groups. After panthenol is absorbed by the skin, it is converted into pantothenic acid. Panthenol can be divided into D-panthenol, L-panthenol and DL-panthenol, among which D-panthenol is the most widely used.
