PANTHENOL

Provitamin B5, also known as panthenol, is a versatile ingredient delivering multi benefits to the skin. It has powerful hydrating and moisturizing properties, so it not only hydrates the skin but also, as a humectant, holds and binds the moisture as well as other moisturizing ingredients.

Panthenol is also anti-irritant – it stimulates the regeneration of damaged skin and can regenerate sun burnt skin. It positively influences skin’s hydration, elasticity and softness. It is a skin protectant, reducing itchiness and irritation caused by external stimuli. It improves the skin texture, helps to build up a barrier against irritation and prevents water loss (dehydration and dryness) from evaporation. Apart from direct hydration of the skin, panthenol is also crucial to gain resilience by acquiring the abilities to produce moisture in the long run.

It has anti-inflammatory activity, helps in wound healing with proven soothing activity against rashes, eczema, red skin, little cuts and sores (bug bites, shaving irritation etc). Especially combined with vitamin C, like in our Skin Repair Serum, it supports the production of collagen boosting skin’s healing process.
