Panthenol

Panthenol is derived from pantothenic acid or vitamin B5. It is also known by other names like dexpanthenol, D-pantothenyl alcohol, butanamide and provitamin B-5. Unlike other hydrating ingredients, it features both humectant and emollient properties. These elements can fill in the dry cracks on the skin and seal in the moisture.

It delivers multiple benefits including:

It boosts moisture retention
Research has shown that it fortifies the skin barrier
Prevents transdermal water loss
Packed with anti-inflammatory properties
Previous studies have shown that it can accelerate the wound healing process
Research has found that panthenol can slow down hair thinning
According to a study, it is proven that panthenol can fortify the nail and prevent it from brittleness

It can be used on a daily and combined with other hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin

It is suitable for all skin types especially those with dry or flaky skin
