Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride acts as a good conditioning agent for hair, provides shine, reduces static and moisturises the hair.
Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride is not the same as panthenol, actually it is derived from panthenol which is a natural pro-vitamin (Pro-Vitamin B5) with moisturizing properties while Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium derivative of panthenol used mainly in hair-conditioning products to reduce frizz, improve smoothness.

Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride is generally considered as safe but it has the potential to cause irritation in sensitive individuals.
Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride is a synthetic ingredient, synthesised by reacting naturally derived panthenol (Vitamin B3) with a long-chain quaternary amine.
