Stories from Nature
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a derivative of pantothenic acid, a vitamin naturally found in numerous plant- and animal-based foods. Widely used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, soothing, and protective properties, it is particularly valued for its ability to lock in moisture and improve the health of skin and hair, helping to preserve their softness and elasticity.
Benefits for Hair
Panthenol has a moisturizing, conditioning, and anti-static effect on the hair fiber, helping to retain moisture and reduce static electricity. It improves the softness, shine, and elasticity of the hair, making it more manageable and easier to comb. Thanks to its protective properties, it also helps combat dryness and the effects of environmental stressors and harsh treatments, promoting stronger, healthier, and more resilient-looking hair.
Skin Benefits
Panthenol is valued for its moisturizing, soothing, and regenerating properties, which help support the skin’s natural renewal process and strengthen its barrier function. It helps reduce redness and feelings of irritation, improving softness and elasticity.
In facial cleansers, it promotes comfort for delicate skin, while in intimate hygiene products, it helps combat skin dryness and preserve moisture—which is particularly important during menopause.
