soothing
The quiet healer — hiding in pimple patches, aftersun balms, and nearly every "barrier repair" cream you've ever met.
humectant
Panthenol is vitamin B5's topical form, and it's one of the most reliable barrier-repair ingredients available. It penetrates the skin and converts to pantothenic acid, enhancing hydration, accelerating wound healing, and reducing inflammation. It's boring, effective, and in more products than you'd think.
