Also known as panthenol, provitamin B5 is the most widely used vitamin in the cosmetics industry, as it is essential for the beauty of skin and hair. Once in the body, provitamin B5 is rapidly converted into vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), a major component of coenzyme A, which plays a key role in the cell and tissue repair mechanism. This vitamin plays an active role in the formation and regeneration of skin and hair. A vitamin B5 deficiency can lead to hair loss.
Also known as panthenol, provitamin B5 is one of the most widely used vitamins in the cosmetics industry, as it is essential for the beauty of the skin and hair. Once in the body, provitamin B5 is rapidly converted into vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, a key component of coenzyme A, which plays an important role in cell and tissue repair mechanisms. This vitamin actively supports the formation and regeneration of the skin and hair. A deficiency in vitamin B5 may lead to hair loss.
This vitamin is therefore frequently used in shampoos and haircare products. It binds to the surface of keratin and helps maintain the cohesion of the hair cuticle, leaving hair stronger and shinier.
On the skin, recent studies have highlighted the restorative and soothing properties of provitamin B5. It stimulates the synthesis of keratinocytes and the proliferation of fibroblasts, the cells that make up the epidermis and dermis, and therefore plays an important role in the skin repair process.
