Calcium Pantothenate is the calcium salt of pantothenic acid, a form of provitamin B5. INCI: Calcium Pantothenate. In skin, pantothenic acid is related to panthenol, a well-known moisturizing and soothing component. In a formula it works as a humectant and conditioning agent: it supports stratum-corneum moisture, softness, and comfort. It is milder and less studied than panthenol itself, so it serves as a supporting component. Pregnancy safety. Topical use, low systemic absorption, no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
