Panthenol: The precious ingredient for deep hydration and sensitive skin relief

Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is one of the most effective and safe ingredients in modern dermatological care. Thanks to its moisturizing, soothing, and regenerative properties, it is a key component in cosmetics and skincare products for sensitive, dehydrated, or irritated skin.

What is panthenol?

Panthenol is the provitamin of vitamin B5, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in skin repair and supports its natural defense mechanisms. When applied topically, it is converted into pantothenic acid, which:

• Promotes cell renewal
• Strengthens the skin barrier
• Helps retain moisture in the deeper layers of the epidermis

The benefits of panthenol for the skin

Deep hydration and hydrolipidic barrier reinforcement: Panthenol locks in moisture, preventing water loss and helping to maintain soft, supple, and healthy skin. Ideal for dry, extremely dry, or dehydrated skin, it delivers significant results with regular use. Hypoallergenic and gentle, it is also suitable for babies, respecting the sensitivity of delicate skin causing no irritation.

Soothing action for sensitive and reactive skin: Thanks to its anti-irritant properties, panthenol reduces redness, itching, and tightness, providing immediate relief in cases of dermatitis, eczema, atopic-prone skin, or after exposure to certain irritating factors.

Regenerating and healing action: Panthenol accelerates the skin’s natural healing process in cases of minor injuries, mild burns, or acne.

Anti-inflammatory protection and restoration: Its anti-inflammatory effects make panthenol an excellent choice for skin prone to flare-ups or irritation. It also provides relief after sun exposure, hair removal, exfoliation, or laser treatments.
