PANTHENOL (VITAMIN B5) / Dexpanthenol
are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol converts into Pantothenic Acid (a B-Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness.
Panthenol is also an effective moisturizer. It improves hydration in the outermost layers of the skin and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss.
Due to its good penetration and high local concentrations, Panthanol is used in many of our products for treatment of dermatological conditions to relieve itching or promote healing.
