Panthenol (M - 1224), 10 ml, Mayam

Panthenol, or provitamin B5, is recognized for its soothing, repairing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, frequently used in hair applications to strengthen and beautify the hair.

The group of B vitamins includes pantothenic acid - vitamin B5 - which is an essential element for the body. The precursor of vitamin B5 is panthenol, which, once it penetrates the skin, quickly transforms into pantothenic acid, which plays an important role in the activity of cells and tissues. Its name derives from the Greek word "panthoten" which means "everywhere" and is found in the form of two isomers: D and L, but only the D form is biologically active - Dexpanthenol or D-Panthenol.

By applying products containing panthenol on the skin, the synthesis of keratinocytes and the proliferation of fibroblasts (constituent cells of the epidermis) are stimulated, thus favoring the healing of injuries and accelerating the regeneration of the skin, in addition, it increases the level of hydration and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
At the level of the hairline, panthenol attaches to the keratin surface, coats and smoothes it, giving it increased shine and strength.
