Panthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It can be found naturally in our skin and hair.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5 or dexpanthenol in dermatology.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.

Absolutely triggers my skin. First I thought it was great, used it on my lips and around my eyes. After a few days, ittitated my skin super bad. I checked the ingredient list before, and on some websites who sell this Lanolin Alcohol is not listed which I find super weird- it’s very irritating

Absolutely fantastic. I needed a lip balm quickly before I went away for the weekend that would calm down the eczema I had all over my lips and around my lip line. I started using it, and the next day the eczema and soreness was gone. I think my skin needed a break from actives. I’m docking a star as it’s not vegan or cruelty free, but damn, it hurts to do so, as this balm is perfect otherwise and would be an HG.

Even though this is a gorgeous lip balm, it is quite high priced, about the same price as the entire tube of Cicaplast balm for the face.
