Provitamin B5 is a component of coenzyme A, which is involved in various physiological processes such as intracellular lipid synthesis in the epidermis. Panthenol has an excellent skin-nourishing and moisturizing effect and helps to strengthen the skin's barrier function, which also reduces transepidermal water loss. In addition, panthenol supports wound healing and is therefore effective in the rehabilitation of chapped lips.

Shea butter can also soothe rough and cracked skin and has even been shown to be effective in the treatment of eczema.
