Applications & Uses
Unique moisture magnet.
Dry skin lacks water in the upper scaly layers, whilst the underlying layers are normally hydrated by the skin's internal moisturizing mechanism. The secret to resolving dry skin involves not only having enough moisture, but also keeping that moisture where it's needed. Unlike other ingredients, PENTAVITIN® connects perfectly with the skin's surface layers and doesn't easily wash off, locking in moisture like a magnet. It also strengthens the skin's natural defenses and preventing further dehydration.

Technical Details & Test Data
When the scalp microbiome is imbalanced, microbial infiltration leads to inflammation in the epidermis at the hair shaft. This causes the skin barrier to weaken, and flaking skin on the scalp may increase. A downward spiral is then set in motion, with microbial infiltration multiplying as the scalp barrier function diminishes. In-vitro tests have shown that PENTAVITIN® can break this vicious circle by influencing the equilibrium of microbial species such as Malassezia furfur and Staphylococcus epidermidis in the scalp microbiome. In addition, in-vitro gene expression studies by DSM’s scientists have demonstrated that PENTAVITIN® effectively stimulates the epidermal building blocks that play a key role in skin barrier improvement.
