1. What Bepanthen cream is and what it is used for
Bepanthen cream contains dexpanthenol, which is easily and quickly absorbed after application.
Dexpanthenol is converted in skin cells to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which enters the composition of coenzyme A and thus significantly affects the formation and renewal of the epithelium. It stimulates cellular mitosis, contributes to the durability of collagen fibers, accelerates wound healing and alleviates inflammation.
Bepanthen cream is not greasy, so it is especially suitable for exposed areas and overgrown skin. Because it is easy to apply, it is especially suitable for sunburns and other mild burns.
Bepanthen cream is available in a tube with a tube of 30 g of cream.
