Collection: Panthenol

What is Panthenol?
Panthenol is a provitamin that when applied topically, is converted into vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid). 

What are the skin benefits?
Panthenol binds and holds onto water, keeping skin moisturized and maintaining its elasticity. It acts as both a humectant (water-binding) and emollient (seal cracks to keep moisture locked in). Panthenol works very well with humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Its moisturizing effects make it a popular ingredient in hair products as well.

Those dealing with redness from UV-rays can benefit from Panthenol's anti-inflammatory properties. It can also calm itchiness for those suffering from dermatitis. 

Who should use this ingredient?
Panthenol is well tolerated for all skin types, but especially beneficial for those with dry, flakey skin.
