For adults, pantothenic acid (a form of vitamin B5) used on the skin is generally safe and low risk. The provided safety information rates concerns like cancer, allergies, and reproductive harm as low.
Use products with pantothenic acid as directed on the label. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear and wait 24–48 hours). Stop using if you get redness, itching, swelling, or other irritation. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific health concerns, talk to your healthcare provider if you’re unsure.
The provided safety data notes only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive effects. Because those concerns are listed as low, they are not considered a significant risk for most adults. Still, avoid putting the product on broken or severely damaged skin and avoid contact with eyes. If you have a known allergy to vitamin B5 derivatives or develop any allergic reaction, stop use and seek medical advice.
