Frequently Asked Questions

Bepanthen SensiDaily Moisturizer

    Q1: What is Bepanthen SensiDaily Moisturizer?

    The unique Derma Defense formula of Bepanthen SensiDaily moisturizer brings a new dimension in sensitive skin protection. It contains a prebiotic which has been shown to stimulate the natural skin microflora that forms part of your skin’s natural protection. It also contains glycerin and natural lipids which help provide long-lasting moisturization. Bepanthen SensiDaily Moisturizer also contains pro- vitamin B5 (panthenol) that supports the skin regeneration and vitamin B3 which helps support long term production of lamellar lipids.

    Q2: Who should use Bepanthen SensiDaily Moisturizer?

    Q3: Is Bepanthen SensiDaily Moisturizer suitable for infants/children? Can it be used on pregnant/lactating women?

    Bepanthen SensiDaily is suitable for infants and children. It may also be used on pregnant and lactating women.

    Q4: What are the skin barrier defense mechanisms?

    Our skin is a very effective protective structure which comprises different protective layers. The first line of defense for the skin is the skin’s microflora (bacteria) which stays on the very surface of the skin and prevents unfriendly bacteria from colonizing and proliferating. The second line of defense is the horny layer, also called skin barrier, whose role is to prevent the skin from drying out.

    Q5: How does Bepanthen SensiDaily moisturizer improve skin barrier defense?

    Thanks to its unique formula Bepanthen Sensidaily moisturizer helps your skin stay protected and healthy in four ways. 

    1. It contains a prebiotic shown to support a healthy microflora that forms part of your skin’s natural protection

    2. Natural oils, vitamin B3 and panthenol in the formula has been shown to support the natural skin barrier for long lasting protection

    3. Lipid Lamellar Technology (LLT) helps provide lipids (e.g. ceramides) in lamellas similar to naturally occurring lipids on our skin.

    4. Physiologic humectants help provide long-lasting moisturization; they allow an efficient support 
    to the natural protective skin for a longer period without peaks of extreme skin dryness. 
     

    Q6: What precautions should be taken?

    Bepanthen SensiDaily is hypoallergenic and has been tested to be suitable for babies with eczema-prone skin.

This does not alter the quality of the finished product. The product is safe to use until the indicated expiry date stamped on the packaging an when stored under recommended conditions. For external use only. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
