Pro-vitamin B5 Shampoo – optimal nourishment with panthenol

Pro-vitamin B5 – also known as panthenol or dexpanthenol – is widely used in mainstream medical care due to its wound-healing properties. Pro-vitamin B5 can also be found in many beauty products. In Yours Truly personalized shampoo and conditioner formulas, it provides moisture when the scalp needs it the most and effectively promotes hair fortification and growth. Learn everything there is to know about what pro-vitamin B5 can achieve when added to skin and hair care products!

The benefits to pro-vitamin B5 in shampoo, conditioner & co.

Pro-vitamin B5, otherwise known as panthenol or dexpanthenol, is not a vitamin, but an alcohol that the body requires to produce vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). In contrast, pantothenic acid promotes skin regeneration. Although it’s also found in food, unlike many other vitamins, the body has a limited capacity when it comes to storing B vitamins, so it's often helpful to support the production of the “skin vitamin” with its precursor pro-vitamin B5.

Pro-vitamin B5 is absorbed by the body's cells and converted into vitamin B5, which enables the skin to retain more water, stimulates cell renewal and combats inflammation. Due to its skin renewal stimulating effect, panthenol can also often be found in ointments used to relieve sunburn and cuts. Its high compatibility makes pro-vitamin B5 the perfect care ingredient for sensitive children's skin.

When added to pro-vitamin B5 shampoos, panthenol hydrates and soothes dry and irritated scalps while gently cleansing them. Say goodbye to dry dandruff once and for all! By stimulating the body’s lipid formation, shampoo with panthenol provides lasting nourishment. It penetrates deep into the hair shaft, where it is absorbed by the hair's roots to fortify and promote hair growth from within.

Insider tip: It's not just your skin that requires extra care in the summer. Shampoos and conditioners with pro-vitamin B5 offer the ideal after-sun care for sun-damaged scalps and hair, making them the perfect partner for our moisturizing Body Wash Milk!
