Pentavitin® is a complex of vegetable-derived carbohydrates capable of binding and retaining moisture in the skin for a long time. Vegetable carbohydrates are very similar in composition and biological activity to carbohydrates in the upper layer of the epidermis. They are highly substantive to the skin while binding water like a magnet. As a result, it increases skin hydration after a single application.
Sugars in Pentavitin® bind to the free E-amino groups of lysine of the proteins of the cornified envelope, a process called the Maillard reaction, leading to a unique substantivity and affinity for the
Pentavitin® sugars, as low-molecular-weight humectants, act as natural regulators of the skin's water level, providing instant, long-lasting, and deep hydration. This unique ingredient improves epidermal cell hydration and creates a long-lasting skin barrier.
Clinical reviews confirm the exceptional effectiveness of Pentavitin, which enhances skin smoothness and softness by more than 50% and reduces flaking after two weeks of use. In addition, a unique skin-identical carbohydrate complex penetrates cells, generating a moisture reservoir to power skin-plumping for up to 72 hours. Furthermore, Pentavitin is effective against irritation caused by AHA-containing products.Cosmetics that include this ingredient are ideal for women with dry skin. After two weeks of using the cosmetic product, the skin begins to glow from the inside; irritation disappears, and the dermis stops peeling off. Pentavitin benefits the skin of the face and body as well as the scalp and hair. It moisturizes, softens, and nourishes the delicate scalp, gives the hair a healthy shine density, and stops falling out.
Pentavitin® is an ECOCERT (organic) ingredient, perfect for applications against dry air conditions under low relative humidity, where the skin needs a real functional moisturizer. Besides skincare products, it is also eligible for toiletries and shampoos.

What are the benefits of Pentavitin®?
Pentavitin® is better than other moisturizing agents thanks to its binding ability. Besides better moisturization, it acts longer and remains active under low humidity conditions.
Continued use of Pentavitin® leaves a cumulative "water-magnet" effect. As a result, it remains on the skin surface when other conventional moisturizers flash off. Therefore, it is a beneficial ingredient for high-end moisturizing skincare products and challenging treatments.
It's perfect for problematic, dry, mature, UV-exposed, even xerotic skin, especially in winter when natural moisturizing factors production decreases.
