sidmool D-PANTHENOL 20 MULTI BALM

What is this product?

A 13ml sidmool balm whose name carries a number, and the number checks out: panthenol is disclosed at 20% inline in the ingredient list at position 2, and the figure appears again in the brand's own copy. That check matters because a numeral in a product name can mean almost anything, and this archive holds a different company's product named D-판테놀 20ml where the same numeral is millilitres. Around the verified number, three claims are weaker: 5나노 is a particle size figure with no measurement behind it in the files held and cannot be a count either, since the stem screen over the published list returns two hyaluronan entries; the four multivitamins are never named, and the list supports three unambiguously; and radiance is placed beside glutathione, which carries no notified brightening status. The formula is lighter than the word balm suggests, with no wax, butter, petrolatum or plant oil in its 21 entries.

What makes it different?

One verified number and an honest structure. Panthenol at a disclosed 20% sits second in a 21 entry list with the figure printed inside the list itself, so the numeral in the product name is a specification rather than a decoration, and that is a check most numerically named products fail. The formula is also not what the word balm implies: no wax, no butter, no petrolatum and no plant oil, so it holds water well and seals it only partly, which makes it a layer over a cream rather than a substitute for one. What to discount: a nano particle claim with no measurement, a four vitamin count whose members are never named, and a radiance line attached to an ingredient with no notified brightening status.
