When the reactive Amodimethicone Soya Ammonium Chloride condenses with Dl-Panthenol and forms a substantive polymer Dimethiconol Panthenol, its former designation was Panthenol Amino Dimethicone.
During the emulsion's dry-down, the emulsion, which has amino functional groups in the silicone moiety and is cationic, enhances the substantivity of the Dl-Panthenol to the hair. The reactive silicone emulsion gives greater substantivity to the vitamin due to the silicone's polymerization effects.
The reactive Dimethylpolysiloxane Fluid enables polymerization on the hair and skin, while Panthenol provides conditioning, antioxidant, moisturizing, protective, and other beneficial effects.
Dimethiconol Panthenol is supplied as a water-dispersible milky liquid with 37±1% solids content. It is used in shampoos, rinse-out, and leave-in hair conditioners. Its use levels range from 1% to 2%.Functions

Calcium pantothenate has a positive effect on the migration and proliferation of skin fibroblasts. It stimulates fibroblast activity, suppresses free radicals, and enhances collagen and elastin production. A vital ingredient that heals, firms, and renews the skin.
Ethyl Panthenol (or Panthenyl ethyl ether) is the ethyl ether derivative of Panthenol (provitamin B5). As a result of the presence of an ethyl group, the penetration into hair and skin is enhanced, and the moisturization effect is increased.
Vitamin B5 and citric acid combine to provide deep-penetrating moisture, infinitely soothe the skin and maintain softness and elasticity.
Panthenol is a provitamin of Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), part of the B-complex group, is present in all living cells and is a constituent of coenzyme A. The critical function of this coenzyme is to act as a carrier in acetylation reactions (Krebs cycle).
Vitamin B5 is used as a wound-healing accelerator and a moisturizer. It widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
