Panthenol
A form of provitamin B5 that hydrates, softens and supports the skin barrier.
- Who it suits
- Dry, sensitive or over-exfoliated skin.
Why is panthenol used?
Added quietly to almost everything because it calms and hydrates without adding any irritation risk.
Worth knowing
It's not a headline ingredient, and that's exactly why it works so well alongside almost anything else.
