Naturally derived D-Panthenol from corn
Naturally derived D-Panthenol (Biopurenol DP-100) from our partner AHB is a highly effective form of provitamin B5, produced from renewable corn through fermentation. It delivers multifunctional benefits for skin and hair, improving hydration, strengthening the skin barrier and supporting regeneration. Combining proven cosmetic performance with a sustainable profile, it is an ideal ingredient for modern personal care formulations.
Next-generation D-Panthenol with a sustainable profile
Naturally derived D-Panthenol is produced through the fermentation of corn glucose, making it a renewable and circular alternative to conventional synthetic D-Panthenol. With 100% bio-based content at production scale, it supports formulations with a reduced carbon footprint. With 100% natural content at production scale, it supports formulations with a reduced carbon footprint. The fermentation process itself is carbon neutral, further contributing to its sustainable credentials.
As D-Panthenol, it delivers proven cosmetic benefits including improved skin hydration, enhanced elasticity, stronger barrier function and repair, as well as increased shine and flexibility for hair. It remains effective across a broad pH range and is stable during typical cosmetic processing, including heat and shear. Thanks to its high purity, it can be easily incorporated into emulsions, serums, creams and both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.
OQEMA offers both standard and NATRUE- and COSMOS/Ecocert-certified grades, giving formulators the flexibility to develop value-oriented products or premium natural formulations. Combined with reliable supply and strong sustainability credentials, Biopurenol DP-100 is an excellent choice for high-performance personal care products.
