About Bepanthen

Bepanthen is a dexpanthenol ointment used for nappy rash, minor wounds and tattoo aftercare, and is one of the largest skin care brands sold through pharmacies in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Dexpanthenol converts in the skin to pantothenic acid, a B vitamin involved in tissue repair, which is the basis of the product's claims.
