How to use

Steps

  1. Add DL-Panthenol to the water phase of your formulation.
  2. Use 0.5–1% in haircare products, around 0.5% in skincare formulations and around 1% in scalp serums.
  3. Mix until fully dissolved and avoid heating above 85°C (185°F).

How to use DL-Panthenol Powder

DL-Panthenol is water soluble and should be added to the water phase of your formulation. It dissolves easily in cold or warm water. Keep processing temperatures below 85°C (185°F).

Recommended starting levels:

  • Haircare (shampoos and rinse-off products): 0.5% to 1%
  • Leave in haircare: 0.1% to 0.5%
  • Skincare: Around 0.5% (commonly 0.1% to 3% in leave-on products)
  • Scalp serums: Around 1%
  • Nail care: Around 1%

Always calculate percentages based on the total weight of the finished formulation and adjust to suit your formula.
