Dexpanthenol

Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, a provitamin, and is commonly known as vitamin B5. Dexpanthenol, the body-usable form of pantothenic acid, is a commonly used ingredient in many cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. This active ingredient is generally preferred in skin care, hair care and pharmaceutical products due to its moisturizing and healing properties.

Dexpanthenol can increase the moisture retention capacity of skin and hair when applied. It may also have anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic properties, which can help create a soothing effect on irritated or sensitive areas of the skin. Thanks to these properties, dexpanthenol is often used to treat conditions such as sunburns, dry skin, scars and irritated skin.

There is evidence in pharmaceutical products that dexpanthenol helps wounds heal faster by supporting the skin's healing process. At the same time, it can strengthen the skin barrier and create a protective layer against external factors.

Since companies in the pharmaceutical industry focus on improving health and quality of life, they aim to support and improve the skin health of users by adding active ingredients such as dexpanthenol to their product portfolios.
