Where is panthenol used?
- In cosmetics, Panthenol in cosmetics has earned a reputation as a powerful external restorative, healing, moisturizing agent. In cosmetic formulas, vitamin B5 is found in the form of pantothenic acid derivatives: D- and L-panthenols. Often used in soothing products for sensitive, dry, oily and problematic facial skin, as well as in after-sun formulas. Its ability to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, reduce facial wrinkles, and smooth out skin texture allows the use of panthenol as part of anti-aging corrective care. Shampoos, balms and masks with provitamin B5 for hair improve hair structure, stimulate growth, prevent irritation and dryness of the scalp.
- In cosmetology Since the key function of dexpanthenol is the regeneration of the skin, in cosmetology products based on it are used mainly after traumatic aesthetic procedures, for example, chemical peels, photoepilation, laser resurfacing, during which the integrity of the epidermal layer of the skin is damaged. Panthenol-containing creams, gels, masks help quickly soothe and moisturize damaged skin, relieve swelling and swelling of tissues, shorten the rehabilitation period and prevent complications.
How to treat a burn with Panthenol
Damage to the skin associated with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or exposure to very high temperatures can cause discomfort on the skin in the form of redness, burning and even pain.
