Top 3 Benefits of Vitamin B5 For Healthy Scalp
Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is an essential vitamin for healthy hair. This vitamin is naturally found in many food sources like meat, vegetables, and whole unprocessed grains which is how it earned its name “pantothenic”, meaning “from everywhere”. It’s even found in many hair care formulations for its intense hydrating properties. Here are some reasons why we’ve included this holy grail vitamin in our ingredient lineup.
1.
Hydrates The Hair And Scalp
Vitamin B5 has the excellent ability to bond to hair follicles, allowing it to coat and seal in moisture which is great for hydrating the hair and scalp. It’s touted as a weightless moisturizer, adding softness and shine without feeling oily.
3.
Improves Scalp Health
In a clinical research that studied the effects of vitamin B5 on the skin, researchers have found that the skin barrier function was improved and the bad bacteria in the skin’s microflora decreased. This could mean improvement in the scalp’s microflora, leading to a healthier scalp.
