  • 【Objective】 This study aimed to alleviate the marked greasiness and poor skin feel of conventional panthenol formulations and to enhance their skincare efficacy and application performance.【Methods】 A supramolecular modification strategy was employed to modify panthenol. Using L-carnitine as the hydrogen bond acceptor, a supramolecular deep eutectic solvent (DES), designated as supramolecular panthenol, was constructed with D-panthenol. Its structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Theoretical calculations were performed to elucidate the intermolecular interaction mechanism, and rheological tests were conducted to evaluate the shear stress and viscosity changes of the system. Transcriptomic analysis and formulation application studies were further carried out to clarify its skincare performance.【Results】 The supramolecular panthenol was successfully prepared, and its structure was synergistically maintained by multiple hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The system exhibited significantly reduced viscosity and pronounced shear-thinning behavior. The supramolecular panthenol upregulated the expression of genes involved in collagen synthesis and cellular energy metabolism while inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors. When formulated into an essence product, it markedly reduced greasiness and delivered multiple skincare benefits, including moisturization, skin barrier repair, soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, anti-wrinkle efficacy, and skin firming.【Conclusion】 The supramolecular modification strategy can significantly improve the skin feel of conventional panthenol preparations, and the result ing supramolecular panthenol holds considerable promise for the development of functional skincare ingredients.
