Vitamin B5

What is vitamin B5?

Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group. Its name comes from the Greek "pantothen", meaning "from everywhere", because it is found in small amounts in almost every food. In skincare, it is valued as a humectant: an ingredient that helps the skin attract water and hold on to it.

How it looks and feels on skin

• Helps skin attract and hold on to moisture, so it feels hydrated, soft and supple.
• Helps dry, tight skin feel more comfortable.
• By keeping skin hydrated, helps support the skin barrier.
• Light and water-soluble, so it suits toning lotions and mists as well as serums and creams.
