  • Helps calm and soothe irritated or sensitive skin
  • Supports skin barrier function and repair
  • Lightweight and non-greasy

Science: Panthenol is one of the few ingredients in sensitive skin formulations with clinical evidence specifically tested on volunteers with sensitive skin. Research confirms it reduces skin inflammation and supports barrier function, though comprehensive clinical studies on this ingredient remain limited compared to some alternatives.
