I'll try anything once. :)> Sherry~Hi, Sherry,Go to the site, www.nowfoods.com, and click on "find NOW".Order it from Discount Natural Foods under their "Vitamins" category. Go down their order-form to "D-Panthenol". There is no postage or any other charges, and it is $3.62 per 1 oz. jar. They also sell hundreds of other NOW brand items, all well under NOW's list price.

Any help is appreciated.Dear Misty,Although Panthenol is a very thick, clear liquid it did not change the consistency of my rinse-out or leave-in conditioners at all and, amazingly, it made my shampoo just a little thinner. It dissolved easily in all of them. Don't add it to pure oil alone, such as jojoba, olive or coconut.

I've tried panthenol in my ArTec smoothing shampoo, but it's only been two weeks and I really haven't notice a difference. I am also wondering if this will eventually mess up the shampoo????
