What does Calcium Pantothenate do in skincare?

Is Calcium Pantothenate safe?
Calcium Pantothenate is a vitamin B5 derivative widely used in both supplements and cosmetics and is generally regarded as safe and well tolerated on skin. It is typically included at low, conditioning levels. If you have known sensitivities, patch testing a new product remains sensible.
Is Calcium Pantothenate vegan?
Calcium Pantothenate used in cosmetics is usually manufactured synthetically rather than from animal sources, so it can be suitable for vegan formulas. The overall vegan status of a product depends on its other ingredients and the brand's sourcing. Checking for a vegan label is the most reliable confirmation.
