Dexpanthenol: what it is and why your skin needs it (yes, intimate skin and lips too)

Dexpanthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is one of those ingredients that deserves more recognition. Derived from vitamin B5, this active ingredient has the ability to deeply hydrate, repair the skin barrier, and calm irritations, making it a favorite in products for delicate, cracked, or sensitive skin.

What is dexpanthenol (provitamin b5) good for?

While it may sound technical, its function is simple and powerful: to retain water in the skin and accelerate its regeneration. That's why it's used in all sorts of formulas, from lip balms to post-tattoo treatments. Here are some of its most relevant benefits:

• Deep hydration without a greasy feel
  Ideal for lips, face, hands, and sensitive areas.
• Fast skin regeneration
  Accelerates the healing of small wounds, burns, or chafing.
• Irritation relief
  Reduces redness and itching, even on skin with eczema or dermatitis.
• Strengthens the skin's barrier
  Protects against wind, cold, friction, and pollution.
• Compatible with oily and sensitive skin
  Does not clog pores and does not irritate, which is why it is also present in our facial serums.
