Barrier compromised? Panthenol is your ally. 🌿
Panthenol — pro-vitamin B5 — is one of the most clinically well-supported ingredients for sensitive and treatment-affected skin. Yet most people walk straight past it on ingredient lists without knowing what it does.

Here's the mechanism:
— Panthenol penetrates the outer skin layers and converts to pantothenic acid
— Pantothenic acid actively supports cell regeneration and barrier recovery
— It reduces transepidermal water loss — keeping moisture where it belongs
— It interrupts the irritation cycle that keeps sensitive skin reactive

Look for concentrations between 1% and 5% on your ingredient label. That is the evidence-based range for meaningful sensitive skin benefit.
Safe, effective, gentle. Exactly the combination fragile skin needs.

👉️ A note for Acne Awareness Month: panthenol is also one of the most underrated ingredients for acne-prone skin — not because it treats breakouts directly, but because it helps repair the barrier damage that keeps skin inflamed and reactive. Worth knowing.

This is Week 2 of our June series: The ABC of Natural Ingredients.

Not all aloe is created equal. 🌿

Aloe vera is one of the most studied botanicals in dermatology — but its benefits depend entirely on how it is formulated.

Here's what pure, well-formulated aloe actually does:

• Polysaccharides form a protective film on the skin surface, reinforcing the barrier and reducing water loss
• Anti-inflammatory compounds — including acemannan and aloesin — calm the biological processes behind redness and irritation
• Humectant action draws and retains moisture without the greasiness of heavier occlusives

This makes aloe particularly valuable for skin that is sensitive, reactive, post-treatment, or simply exhausted.

This June, we're running a full series: The ABC of Natural Ingredients.
One ingredient per week. The science, the benefits, and what to look for on your label.

Happy Earth Day. 🌍

Aloe vera has been used as a skincare ingredient for over 5,000 years. No synthetic compounds, no complex chemical processes — just a plant doing what it does best.

At Alomar Health, that's the foundation everything is built on. Organic aloe vera as the hero ingredient, a short and honest ingredient list, and formulations that work with your skin — not against it.

We believe that choosing clean skincare is both a health decision and a values decision. What goes on your skin is absorbed by your body. And what gets washed off eventually finds its way into the world around us.

This Earth Day, we're thinking about the choices we make — and the ones we're proud of.
