What is Panthenol? Panthenol is the "paramedic" among cosmetic active ingredients. It is the precursor (provitamin) of Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), a vitamin needed everywhere in the body for cell metabolism. Once panthenol penetrates the skin, it converts into this valuable vitamin. It is known worldwide for its healing and regenerating superpowers.

Panthenol is the first choice for minor skin emergencies. It promotes the formation of new skin cells (proliferation) extremely effectively.

• Wound Healing: It supports the closure of abrasions, minor burns, and sunburn.
• Anti-Inflammatory: It instantly relieves redness, itching, and sensations of heat (perfect after shaving or sunbathing).
• Scar Care: Through optimized skin regeneration, it helps keep scars elastic and inconspicuous.

Besides healing, panthenol is an excellent moisturizer. It penetrates deep into the skin layers and binds water there.

The Barrier Function:

• Strengthens the skin's natural lipid barrier, making it less sensitive to external irritants.
• Makes rough, cracked skin soft and supple again.
• In hair care products, it penetrates the hair shaft, providing shine and volume ("Pantene effect").
