Bepanthen Ointment contains the active ingredient dexpanthenol which is converted in skin cells to pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid or vitamin B5 is known for its skin healing and repairing properties and as such plays a part in both the formation and the regeneration of the skin.
Therefore, it has dual action benefit:
Protection - by forming a long-lasting breathable barrier protecting against the irritants that cause nappy rash.
Gentle healing - Dexpanthenol penetrates deeply into the skin and accelerates the natural healing process from within.
