Panthenol
Panthenol is a provitamin B5 ingredient used in skincare.
Why it is used
Controlled research on dexpanthenol formulations supports a role in hydration and barrier-related outcomes.
Who may find it relevant
May be relevant in a moisturiser chosen for dry-feeling skin and comfort.
Formulation compatibility
Can be formulated with humectants, emollients and barrier lipids.
Compatibility inside one finished formula is not an instruction to layer or mix separate products.
A common misconception
It does not make the entire formula allergy-proof or guarantee a fixed recovery time.
