“Vitamin B5 that acts as a humectant, emollient, and skin healer all in one.”
What it does
Panthenol is the provitamin (precursor) of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). When applied to skin, it is converted to pantothenic acid, which is essential for fatty acid synthesis and thus barrier function. It simultaneously acts as a humectant (attracting water), an emollient (sealing moisture), and has anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.
Benefits
- Deeply hydrates skin as a humectant and emollient
- Supports barrier repair and reduces skin roughness
- Soothes irritation and inflammation
