Formulation notes
- Near-neutral pH, unlike panthenol's 9–10.5. If panthenol is moving your batch pH, this is the material to try instead.
- Only one US supplier of any scale carries this as a standalone. It is a genuine catalog gap in the cosmetic channel and it is why it sits here.
- Hygroscopic. Nitrogen-flushed and heat-sealed at every size we ship.
Applications
- Hair care
- Powder masks
- Effervescent bath
- Serum
- Supplement blending
