For children aged 5 years and up (kids, school-age children, young children), calcium pantothenate used on the skin is generally safe and shows very low health concerns in government and industry reviews.
Use products made for children or regular skin-care items as directed. Do a small patch test on your child’s inner arm before first use. If your child has known sensitive skin, choose products labeled for sensitive skin and follow the product directions. If any redness, itching, or rash appears, stop using the product and rinse the area.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions — while allergy risk is low, any new product can cause a reaction (based on Environment Canada and industry reviews). Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. Note that some product-verification programs require manufacturers to provide extra safety information before allowing this ingredient in certified products (based on industry review guidance). If you’re unsure, check with your child’s pediatrician.
