Panthenol is a form of vitamin B5 that is used as a moisturizer and lubricating compound in skin and hair products. It is a stable, water-soluble, light ingredient that readily penetrates the skin and hair. Panthenol is a popular ingredient in hair care products because it can improve hair health by making it shinier, softer, and fuller. It can also help prevent hair loss and protect hair against environmental and styling damage by trapping moisture to prevent hair from becoming dry and brittle. Panthenol is also present in a wide array of skin care products due to its ability to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and smooth appearance. It can soothe red skin, inflammation, and little cuts or sores like bug bites or shaving irritation. Panthenol is anti-inflammatory and therefore helps relieve skin irritation, redness, sunburn, and acne inflammations, and repairs the skin. It also works together with keratin to treat dry and fragile nails, making them healthy and shiny.
