Vitamin B5 Panthenyl Ethyl Ether (CAS 667-83-4) is the ethyl ether of panthenol, a lipophilic provitamin B5 derivative that appears as a clear to slightly yellowish liquid, penetrates lipid-rich skin and hair structures more readily than standard panthenol, and acts as a moisturizing and conditioning active in topical formulations. Supplied as a clear to slightly yellowish liquid, it has a density of 1.073 g/mL at 20 °C, boiling point 443.8 °C (predicted), and flash point 110 °C.
The ethyl ether modification of panthenol increases lipophilicity, enhancing penetration through lipid-rich skin and hair structures compared to standard panthenol. It functions primarily as a moisturising and conditioning active in topical cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
Vitamin B5 Panthenyl Ethyl Ether ships from SoleChem stock in two grades, Food Grade and Pharma Grade. Both grades are supplied in drums and small-lot containers for formulators and buyers in Personal Care & Cosmetics and Pharma & Healthcare, and every delivery includes a certificate of analysis (COA) and safety data sheet (SDS).
SoleChem holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and arranges deliveries to more than 40 countries. Share the grade, volume and packaging format you require, and SoleChem will respond with a bulk quote.
