Reaction product of pantothenic acid with polypeptides obtained from yeasts. Pantothenic acid/yeast polypeptide is used in cosmetics as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair) and as a hair conditioning agent (makes hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume). It also acts as a skin care product.
