Panthenol
"With Moisturizing Properties"
Panthenol is a biologically active alcohol, which is converted to pantothenic acid or vitamin B5 when is absorbed by the skin. Is derived from the greek word "pantothen" meaning "from every side".
It is present in every living cell and is necessary for the production of coenzyme A, which is essential for cellular metabolism.
It is found in almost every food- meat
- eggs
- liver
- kidney
- broccoli
- potatoes
- dry fruit
- wholegrains
- dairy products...
To get the full benefits of this vitamin,we should get it from fresh food rather than frozen or processed because they lose part of it. Vitamin b5 is available in supplements and the recommended daily intake is about 4 to 7 mg.
It is widely used by cosmetic companies. Thanks to its moisturizing properties is commonly used in many skin care products. Because it acts as an humectant helps to retain water from the air, leaving the skin and hair moist.
