Panthenol

What it is
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a moisturizing ingredient that helps skin attract and retain water.

Why we use it
We use panthenol to help keep dry, sensitive-feeling skin soft, hydrated, and comfortable. It also helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier, making it especially useful in formulas designed to provide gentle, lasting hydration.

Why it's considered safe

• Widely used in moisturizers and sensitive-skin formulas

• Helps improve skin hydration

• Research supports its ability to help strengthen and support the skin barrier

Good to know
Panthenol does more than add surface moisture. It helps skin hold onto hydration and supports a smoother, more comfortable feel over time.

The Lotus Standard
We chose panthenol because it offers gentle, effective hydration and barrier support without adding unnecessary fragrance or harsh actives.
