| | CAS number | [81-13-0] [1] | | Infobox disclaimer and references | Panthenol is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and is thus the provitamin of B5. In organisms it is quickly oxidized to pantothenate. Panthenol is a viscous transparent liquid at room temperature, but salts of pantothenic acid (for example sodium pantothenate) are powders (typically white). It is well soluble in water, alcohol and propylene glycol, soluble in ether and chloroform, and slightly soluble in glycerin. CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences, mixtures and alloys. ...
In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. ...

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). In chemistry, two stereoisomers are said to be enantiomers if they are mirror images of each other. ...
In chemistry, a racemate is a mixture of equal amounts of left- and right-handed stereoisomers of a chiral molecule. ...
Pantothenol's expanded chemical formula is: HO-CH2-C(CH3)2-CH(OH)-CONH-CH2CH2CH2-OH.
Uses
In cosmetics, panthenol is a humectant, emollient and moisturizer. It binds to hair follicles readily and is a frequent component of shampoos and hair conditioners (in concentrations of 0.1-1%). It coats the hair and seals its surface, lubricating follicles and making strands appear shiny. Closeup of a womans eye while wearing makeup Cosmetics or makeup are substances to enhance the beauty of the human body, apart from simple cleaning. ...
A humectant is a hygroscopic substance that is used as a food additive. ...
Emollients soften skin (and moisturisers add moisture). ...
Moisturizers are a complex mixture of chemical agents specially designed to make the external layers of the skin (epidermis) softer and more pliable, by increasing its hydration (water content). ...
A hair follicle is part of the skin that grows hair by packing old cells together. ...

Hair conditioners, sometimes called cream rinse, are often used in hair care alongside shampoo, to improve the texture and appearance of human hair. ...
Lubrication occurs when opposing surfaces are completely separated by a lubricant film. ...
In ointments it is mixed with allantoin, in concentrations of up to 2-5%, and is used for treatment of sunburns, mild burns and minor skin disorders. An ointment is a highly viscous or semisolid substance used on the skin as a cosmetic, emollient, or medicament; a salve. ...
Allantoin is a botanical extract of the comfrey plant and is used for its healing, soothing, and anti-irritating properties. ...
In medicine, a burn is a type of injury to the skin caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation (an example of the latter is sunburn). ...
Pantothenol is not, however, absorbed through the skin and thus has limited effects that are not due to its provitamin character. A provitamin is a substance that can be converted into a vitamin by animal tissues. ...
If ingested, panthenol is metabolized to pantothenic acid. This article needs a complete rewrite for the reasons listed on the talk page. ...
