What does this ingredient do in an antiperspirant?
It is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. It is a supporting ingredient, not an active ingredient against sweating.
Part of a system, not a label in isolation
It may be particularly relevant in formulas designed to offset dryness or discomfort, but its effect depends on the concentration and the complete base.
The CIR Expert Panel assessed panthenol and related derivatives as safe in the described practices of cosmetic use.
It is generally well tolerated; a rare individual reaction is possible with any cosmetic product.
Panthenol does not treat hyperhidrosis and does not replace an antiperspirant active ingredient.
