D-Panthenol Gel is a water-soluble form of provitamin B5 used in haircare and skincare formulation to improve softness, slip, and hydrated feel. It is supplied as a very viscous gel, which makes it practical for measured addition at low use levels in shampoos, conditioners, lotions, creams, and facial products. Because of its thick texture, it is easiest to handle when pre-dispersed in a little water before adding to a batch. This is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished product.
♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock D-Panthenol Gel because it is one of those reliable multi-use actives that works beautifully across both hair and skin formulas. It gives makers a simple way to improve feel and finish without overcomplicating the formula.

I am very happy with the D-PANTHENOL GEL that I ordered! The instructions how to use it is clear and I am very satisfied with the results and the easy way to use the product! It is a quality product and I can see the results I am looking for already after 3 weeks using the product! Thank you for your excellent assistance and trustworthy products that never disappointed me! I WILL ORDER SOON AGAIN! 👏🏻
I love using all essentially naturals products the quality is great and service is excellent
This D-Panthenol Gel has become a must-have in my formulations. I use it in my face cleanser, and it adds such a lovely, soothing, hydrating touch to the final product. It blends well and leaves the skin feeling soft and calm. Delivery was quick, packaging was secure, and as always, Essentially Natural never disappoints. This is definitely a staple I’ll keep repurchasing!
I love all your products .very supportive and friendly staff always will to help thank you
Works great and the packaging quality is fantastic. Ss mentioned somewhere it's quite difficult to work with due the high viscosity. But I'd buy again.
I wanted to try this product and i bought a sample, Wow what a girl🤌🏼 she gives my skin that glow and all day hydration. I’ve found my holy grail🤭 at a fraction of the price
Thank you EN once again. It’s my first time purchasing Panthenol, the consistency is super thick. I incorporated it in my face cream, excellent quality. 😍
I recently purchased all the required ingredients for the "Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum" and the "Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid", as per your recipe on your blog: https://essentiallynatural.co.za/blogs/natural-face-care/luxury-serums-for-anti-aging-and-problem-skin.
I chose a hydrosol serum formula, because I find oil-based serum's too heavy for my skin, even during winter. I'm absolutely blown away by how amazing my skin is feeling! Both the formula's absorb SUPER quick, and there's no heaviness or residue left on my skin. Only 2 weeks in, and my wrinkles are softer and not so deep, my skin is SUPER hydrated and glowing and I'm already seeing a difference!
I begin my regime by cleaning my skin with Rose Water, and then apply the Vit-C Serum, followed by the Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I do this twice a day, even though you suggest only using the Vit-C Serum once a week.
I bought a pipette bottle for the Vit-C Serum, and use 2 drops, and I use a Serum Pump Bottle for the Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and use one pump.
The recipe was really easy to follow, and took absolutely no time at all to create these little bottles of youth-elixir's!
I love this product, it worked wonderful with my formulation. This is the one I'll buy over and over. Thank you for the excellent service always
Excellent product. Moreover, EN customer service and communication skills are excellent beyond words. I am so proud to be an EN client. Thank you EN
Hi
Just want to confirm
Is this product definitely vegan because panthenol can be sourced from animal and plants ?

Have a Joyous Festive Season,
