  2. Is D-Panthenol the same as Vitamin B5?
  3. What types of Hyaluronate are available, and what are their characteristics, including:

Answer

Regarding Brassica Napus Extract, it is not available.

D-Panthenol is available and is also known as Vitamin B5.

For Hyaluronate, we have the following types:

  • Nano size (Avg. 10,000 Daltons): Absorbs deeply, provides deep moisture, does not form gel, does not coat skin.
  • Standard size (Avg. 1,000,000 Daltons): Does not absorb, moisturizes outer skin layer, slight gel formation, slight coating.
  • Large size (Avg. 2,000,000 Daltons): Does not absorb, moisturizes outer skin layer, good gel formation, good coating.
  • Double Hyaluronic Acid Liquid: Mix of Nano and Standard sizes, easy to use, moisturizes both deep and outer skin layers.
  • Cationic Powder: Positively charged, adheres to skin/hair, suitable for rinse-off products (cleanser, shampoo, conditioner).
