Can I use Panthenol with Wheat Amino Acids?
Works well together
Panthenol and Wheat Amino Acids are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
Wheat Amino AcidsBarrier support
- ✓Amino acids derived from hydrolysis of wheat protein (primarily glutamine/glutamic acid, proline, glycine) that replenish the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) components of the stratum corneum
- ✓Small amino acid molecules penetrate the outer layers of the skin, contributing to moisture retention and the maintenance of the cornified cell envelope
- ✓Film-forming properties from the peptide and amino acid mixture contribute to a smoother, more refined skin texture and reduced transepidermal water loss
- ⚠Wheat-derived; individuals with wheat protein allergy should exercise caution. Extensively hydrolyzed wheat amino acids have substantially reduced allergenicity versus intact wheat protein, but topical sensitization to wheat protein has been documented in some users of hydrolyzed wheat cosmetics
