Panthenol is an effective skin penetrator that has stimulating effects. Due to its high compatibility, it is also used in skin care products for babies.

Panthenol, or dexpanthenol, is a chemically produced precursor of vitamin B (provitamin B5).  As soon as panthenol comes in contact with skin, our metabolism converts it into d-panthothenic acid, aslo called vitamin B5. This vitamin is an essential part of regenerative metabolism processes and stabalizes the natural skin barrier. 

D-panthotenic acid has a good moisturising abiltiy, which can improve skin elasticity and smoothen skin surface. D-Panthotenic acid can lead to refreshed firmness, smoothing and relaxed facial expression. 

It can boost cell division and prevent skin irritation.  As blood circulation is reduced and cell regeneration is supported, skin redness often subsides quickly and itchiness can be reduced.

Panthenol can also help tensid or sun damaged skin to recover quickly.
