Information
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a highly regarded ingredient in skincare due to its hydrating, soothing, and healing properties. When applied to the skin, panthenol is converted into pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), an essential nutrient that supports skin health. It is a popular ingredient in various skincare and hair care products for its ability to improve skin barrier function and enhance moisture retention.
Where does it come from?
Panthenol is derived from pantothenic acid, which is a water-soluble vitamin found in all living cells and essential for maintaining healthy skin. It can be naturally sourced from foods like eggs, fish, meat, whole grains, and certain vegetables, or it can be synthesized in a laboratory for use in personal care products. The synthetic form of panthenol is widely used in skincare formulations due to its stability and effectiveness.
Moisturizing: Panthenol is a powerful humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. This helps to keep the skin hydrated, soft, and smooth.
Soothing: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to calm irritated or sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea.
Healing: Panthenol supports the skin’s natural healing processes, making it effective in promoting the repair of minor wounds, cuts, and burns. It also helps to strengthen the skin barrier, reducing water loss and protecting the skin from environmental stressors.
Anti-Aging: By improving skin hydration and elasticity, panthenol can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful complexion.
Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of products containing panthenol can lead to smoother, more resilient skin with improved texture and tone.
How is it used in our products?
Panthenol is used, for example, in F64 Corrective Eye Elixir from OLIVEDA and 007 Lifting Up Eye Elixir from LA DOPE. Included for its moisturizing, protecting, and anti-aging properties, it hydrates and soothes the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
