Description
Calcium D-Pantothenate (CAS 137-08-6), also known by trade names Pancal and Calpanate, is the calcium salt of pantothenic acid, a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. It carries EC number 205-278-9 and the molecular formula C9H17NO5.1/2Ca, and is not assigned an E-code under EU food additive regulations.
In personal care formulations, it functions as a humectant and skin conditioner by binding moisture within the stratum corneum, while also acting as a hair conditioner that strengthens the cortex and reduces breakage. In pharmaceutical applications, it serves as an active nutrient ingredient and stabilising agent in oral and topical preparations.
Calcium D-Pantothenate is supplied as a white crystalline powder meeting Ph.Eur., USP, and FCC grade standards, supporting use across pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. The substance is registered under REACH and is available in standard drum and fibre packaging. HS code 29362400 applies for EU import and export classification.
