Frequently Asked Questions

What is panthenol and what does it do for the skin?

Panthenol, or pro-vitamin B5, is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin. It also supports barrier repair, soothes irritation and helps keep skin soft, smooth and healthy.

Is panthenol good for sensitive skin?

Yes, it’s ideal for sensitive, irritated or compromised skin. It helps calm redness, reduce dryness and support the skin’s natural healing process.

Can panthenol be used on acne-prone skin?

Panthenol is non-comedogenic and helps improve hydration without clogging pores. It’s gentle enough for acne-prone skin and may help reduce inflammation.

What are the benefits of panthenol for hair?

In haircare, panthenol smooths the hair shaft, improves elasticity, adds shine and helps strengthen hair to reduce breakage. It also hydrates the scalp and is often used in leave-in products.

Is panthenol the same as vitamin B5?

Panthenol is the provitamin form of B5. Once applied, it’s converted into vitamin B5 in the skin or hair to support hydration and repair.

Can panthenol help with eczema or dermatitis?

Yes. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in formulas designed to calm flare-ups and improve barrier resilience.

How often can I use panthenol products?

Panthenol is very gentle and safe for daily use in both skincare and haircare. It’s suitable for all ages and skin types.

Does panthenol work well with other active ingredients?

Absolutely. Panthenol pairs well with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and ceramides, enhancing hydration and barrier repair without irritation.
