According to dermatologists, panthenol is a provitamin B5 that is highly beneficial for skin and hair health. When used topically, the body converts this moisturizing powerhouse into pantothenic acid, which helps boost hydration and promotes healing. This article explores exactly what vitamins are in panthenol and how it delivers its benefits.

Did you know that while vitamin B5 is crucial for metabolism, its topical precursor, provitamin B5, is the active ingredient found in many skincare and haircare products for superior absorption? The key to understanding their roles lies in how the body processes each form differently to deliver benefits.
