Panthenol (Provitamin B5) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Provitamin B5
- D-Panthenol
- Dexpanthenol
Panthenol supplier for cosmetic, personal-care and formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also called provitamin B5, this alcohol form of vitamin B5 is a water-soluble humectant and conditioning raw material used in skincare, hair care and related formulated products.
Commercial options include D-panthenol (dexpanthenol) powder, DL-panthenol powder and panthenol liquid or solution. D grades name the D-isomer only; DL grades are the racemic mixture. Confirm the pack format with the quotation.
Personal-care manufacturers use panthenol in creams, lotions, serums, shampoos and conditioners. Contract manufacturers and specialty formulators select the isomer, form and grade against a named raw-material specification rather than a finished cream or ointment product.
Send the required isomer or form, grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about panthenol
What is the difference between D-panthenol and DL-panthenol?
D-panthenol (dexpanthenol) is the D-isomer. DL-panthenol is the racemic mixture of D and L forms. Both are commercial panthenol options under the provitamin B5 family; state which isomer the specification names so the quotation matches the formulation.
Is panthenol the same as pantothenic acid or calcium pantothenate?
No. Panthenol is the alcohol form sold as provitamin B5 raw material for cosmetics and related formulation. Pantothenic acid and calcium pantothenate are separate vitamin B5 identities and should be ordered under their own names when a formulation requires them.
Which panthenol form should I request for cosmetics?
Powder grades are common for dry blending and controlled assay addition. Liquid or solution grades suit many cream, lotion and hair systems where dosing a liquid is simpler. Name D or DL if the recipe fixes an isomer, and include any assay or documentation target with the enquiry.
Can panthenol be used in skincare and hair-care formulations?
Yes. Cosmetic-grade panthenol is widely used as a humectant and conditioning ingredient in skincare and hair-care products. Suitability depends on the recipe, isomer, form and required grade, so describe the application when enquiring.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State D-panthenol or DL-panthenol, powder or liquid form, intended application, assay or purity target, and any documentation required. For an existing formula, attach the current specification or a representative sample requirement.
What details are needed for a panthenol price enquiry?
Provide the isomer or form, grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
