What Is Panthenol?
Panthenol is a form of provitamin B5 that works as a skin protector, softening and soothing skin by locking in moisture and preventing dehydration. By supporting skin health and aiding in cellular repair, Panthenol is also useful in helping skin to heal wounds, or after sun damage.
Benefits Of Panthenol For Skin And Hair?
With its deeply hydrating and soothing properties, Panthenol can reduce discomfort of the skin, making it excellent for those suffering with eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. It acts as an emollient while protecting the skin barrier, helping to maintain elasticity while calming and smoothing.
This form of B5 is also great for hydrating and protecting hair, while keeping the scalp healthy and, in some cases, stimulating the hair follicles to encourage hair growth.
Panthenol is widely tolerated, even by sensitive skin types, though if you are concerned we recommend always doing a patch test before use.
