Frequently Asked Questions
What is DL-panthenol used for?
DL-panthenol (provitamin B5, CAS 16485-10-2) is the racemic alcohol analog of pantothenic acid, used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as a skin-conditioning, hair-conditioning, and antistatic agent. RawSource supplies it in bulk to formulators of skin- and hair-care products.
What is the difference between D-panthenol and DL-panthenol?
D-panthenol is the single biologically active dextrorotatory isomer, while DL-panthenol is the racemic mix of the D- and L-forms. D-panthenol is typically supplied as a viscous liquid and DL-panthenol is often available as a powder or liquid; they carry different specifications, so confirm which your formulation calls for. RawSource can quote either on request.
What is DL-panthenol in cosmetics?
In cosmetic formulations DL-panthenol is listed by its INCI name (Panthenol) and functions as a skin- and hair-conditioning and antistatic agent. It is used across leave-on and rinse-off products. RawSource supplies cosmetic-suitable grades in bulk with CoA and SDS.
What forms and grades of DL-panthenol are available?
DL-panthenol is commercially available in liquid and powder forms and in cosmetic-suitable grades; assay and physical form differ by grade. Specify the form and grade at quote so the CoA matches your specification. RawSource provides documentation with each shipment.
What is the cost of bulk DL-panthenol?
Pricing is quoted by order based on form (liquid or powder), grade, volume, packaging, and freight. Send RawSource your target quantity and destination for a landed quote and lead time. We quote rather than list because cost tracks feedstock and order scale.
