Panthenol triacetate

Panthenol triacetate (CAS 94089-18-6), commercially available as Lipoderma DPT and Ritapan TA, is the triacetylated ester form of panthenol used in personal care and pharmaceutical formulations.

Where standard panthenol presents solubility limitations in oil-based systems, this ester derivative offers improved lipophilicity, enabling formulators to deliver provitamin B5 activity through anhydrous and emollient-rich bases.

In skin care, it functions as a moisturizing active in oil-based serums, balms, and anhydrous creams where water-soluble panthenol cannot be incorporated into the final product.

Hair care manufacturers use it in conditioning oils, leave-on treatments, and silicone blends to deliver humectancy without disrupting the hydrophobic phase of the formulation.

Pharmaceutical topical preparations, including ointments and lipophilic wound-care bases, use it to support skin barrier function within oil-continuous systems for better efficacy.

It also appears in color cosmetics and sun care formulations where oil-phase compatibility is a primary formulation constraint for the research and development team.

The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid suitable for direct incorporation into oil phases and is available in cosmetic-grade specification for personal care.

This is the standard for topical pharmaceutical applications. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on the specific supplier and volume requirements.
