Panthenol/Vitamin B5
Panthenol is a provitamin of B5 that offers numerous benefits for both skin and hair. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and moisturizer for the skin. It helps strengthen the skin's barrier function, partly due to its ability to reduce transepidermal water loss, which means it helps prevent moisture from evaporating from the skin because of its humectant properties. Additionally, research indicates that D-panthenol has significant repairing and soothing properties, making it especially valuable for skin that has been visibly impaired by various stressors. It may also help reduce facial redness caused by sensitivity.
