Product Information

There are a number of benefits to using products that contain panthenol, but there are several misconceptions about it because it’s used in a wide variety of applications. The most common misnomer is that it causes a heavy buildup in hair that may contribute to dandruff and oily hair. However, hair care experts dispute this rumor and say that the elements of panthenol could not cause this problem. Centella Asiatica Extract offers antioxidant benefits with soothing properties that help reduce inflammation, especially on acne-prone sensitive skin. It has the ability to repair and maintain healthy barrier function by increasing skin resilience. Centella Asiatica Extract also improves skin elasticity and relieves dryness of the skin. The benefits that panthenol provides the skin barrier may also help to support wound healing. Contrary to popular belief the skin heals better when it is soft and hydrated. This is why most surgeons recommend wet-wound healing rather than just letting the wound air or breathe. This is due to the ability of the sensitive new skin to be protected as it grows. Panthenol is a compound derived from pantothenic acid, an essential nutrient the body requires for various functions (like converting food into energy). When applied to the skin, it transforms into vitamin B5 and works as a humectant to attract and retain moisture. Just like hyaluronic acid. However, compared to its counterpart, panthenol is also an emollient, which means it works to soften the skin surface, reduce redness, and restore the skin’s barrier function. [1] Created especially for ultra-sensitive skin, this minimal cream is designed to repair and soothe areas of irritation with an ultra-gentle formula, free from fragrances and essential oils. A lso fortified with a calming blend of Centella and Squalene to help soothe areas of rednes s and provide intensive hydration.

Now it’s time to apply the panthenol-infused product. Take a small amount and gently massage it onto your skin. The slightly damp skin has better absorption power, so panthenol can penetrate deeper and provide more benefits. After applying panthenol, give it a few moments to fully absorb into your skin before following with other products. Panthenol products that we recommend

Acting as a humectant, panthenol binds to water molecules and holds them in the skin. Hydrated skin is able to function properly and is responsible for dewy, plumped-looking skin. This makes panthenol great for skin types that endure harsh climates or air conditioning and heating as it is able to compensate for some of the transepidermal water loss that occurs in these environments. Transepidermal water loss refers to the loss of moisture that occurs from our skin to the environment. As we age our skin’s ability to minimize water loss reduces, resulting in dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin is often responsible for that dullness and matte look. Centella Asiatica also often shows up in products that try to treat cellulite or striae. Of course, it cannot make a miracle but it might have some effect via regulating microcirculation and normalizing the metabolism in the cells of connective tissues.

Panthenol is a humectant, which refers to the ability to hold and bind to water. Panthenol also has the added benefit of being an emollient which means that it helps to keep the water in the skin and hair, preventing it from being lost to the environment. Cosmetic Ingredient Review, 1987. ‘Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Panthenol and Pantothenic Acid’, Journal of the American College of Toxicology, vol. 6, no.1.Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassic acid 0.01% - 0.10%, asiatic acid 0.05% - 0.15%, asiaticoside 0.05% - 0.20% and madecassoside 0.10% - 0.35% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring. Keep an eye on: Look out for the concentration of panthenol in the product, most effective formulations will have around 5% panthenol in their product. What Are Panthenol’s Benefits? This moisturizer also contains Peptides (copper tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.10%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way. Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane. If you have a wound or irritated skin, panthenol can help. It plays a crucial role in promoting the growth of fibroblasts (the type of cells in the skin that produce skin-strengthening and wound-healing proteins). [3] [4] Soothes and calms
