What Is It?

Panthenol is a substance that is derived from pantothenic acid, which is more commonly known as vitamin B5. You might also hear it referred to as pro-vitamin B5 because once it's applied to your skin, your body converts it into vitamin B5. Its primary role in skincare formulations is to function as a skin conditioning agent.

What are the benefits?

Think of Panthenol as a helpful moisturizer that does more than just sit on the surface. Firstly, it acts as a humectant, meaning it has a remarkable ability to attract moisture from the air and bind it within the skin. This helps to keep your skin hydrated, feeling soft, and looking more supple.
Beyond just hydration, panthenol also helps support your skin's natural barrier. This protective barrier is crucial for keeping moisture in and irritants out. By helping to strengthen this barrier, panthenol can make your skin more resilient and less prone to dryness, flakiness, or feelings of tightness. In essence, it works to maintain the overall health and well-being of your skin, contributing to a smoother, more comfortable feel and a more revitalized appearance.
