Panthenol is a compound derived from pantothenic acid, an essential nutrient the body requires for various functions (like converting food into energy). When applied to the skin, it transforms into vitamin B5 and works as a humectant to attract and retain moisture. Just like hyaluronic acid. However, compared to its counterpart, panthenol is also an emollient, which means it works to soften the skin surface, reduce redness, and restore the skin’s barrier function. [1]
Panthenol is a common ingredient that is found in a number of hair and skin products because of its ability to attract moisture and build healthier skin and hair. Panthenol is a provitamin of B5 which means that the body will convert it into vitamin B5. Panthenol is a great ingredient for moisturizers, shampoos and conditions as it binds and holds water in the skin. Hydrated skin helps to improve the plumpness and visible elasticity of the skin. It contains 10% Panthenol that helps moisturize, protect and strengthen the skin barrier. This formula also contains Centella Asiatica Extract to soothe the skin, Squalane to soften the skin, providing hydrating and calming effects. Lastly, our superhero Niacinamide (vitamin B3) will work on brightening the skin.
