Panthenol
Panthenol: Anti-inflammatory, Wound-Healing Effect Scientifically Confirmed
Panthenol (Dexpanthenol), as a relevant component of Coenzyme A, is involved in regenerative metabolic processes of the skin. It is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, is considered very well-tolerated, and is also used in products for sensitive and baby skin. Intolerances are not known.
Its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and wound-healing effects have been demonstrated in various studies. Panthenol demonstrably strengthens the skin's barrier function, increases the skin's ability to bind water, and improves its elasticity. It demonstrably promotes cell regeneration in wounds and is therefore successfully used for injuries and sunburn. Blood circulation is reduced, skin redness subsides, and itching is reduced.
