SKIN, SIGHT & IMMUNE SUPPORT IN ONE
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a vital nutrient that supports skin repair, energy metabolism, and stress resilience. It plays a key role in the production of coenzyme A, which helps the body break down fats and carbohydrates for energy. Vitamin B5 also promotes skin hydration, reduces inflammation, and supports wound healing—making it especially beneficial for dry or acne-prone skin. Additionally, it helps maintain healthy adrenal function and supports the nervous system. Since the body cannot store large amounts of B5, consistent intake through food or supplements is essential for daily energy and skin balance.
Real-Life Issues Vitamin B5 Can Tackle
Backed by Science
At NATURIQ, we choose ingredients that truly nourish from within—especially those that support skin health, energy metabolism, and daily stress recovery. Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble B-vitamin essential for producing coenzyme A, which helps the body convert fats and carbohydrates into cellular energy.
Scientific research shows that Vitamin B5 plays an important role in supporting the skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing. It also supports adrenal function, helping the body adapt to physical and emotional stress. In skincare, pantothenic acid is widely used for its soothing and hydrating properties, especially in calming acne-prone or irritated skin.

What Is Vitamin B5?
Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in energy production, skin health, hormone synthesis, and the body’s stress response. It is present in a wide variety of foods including eggs, avocados, legumes, whole grains, meat, and dairy—earning its name from the Greek word “pantothen,” meaning “from everywhere.” This reflects its widespread presence in the human diet, though maintaining adequate intake remains important for optimal health and function. One of the primary roles of Vitamin B5 is in the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA)—a vital molecule that helps convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy. This metabolic support is essential for sustaining both physical energy and mental clarity. Beyond energy metabolism, CoA is involved in the production of cholesterol, steroid hormones (such as cortisol), and neurotransmitters, linking Vitamin B5 directly to hormonal balance, brain function, and the body’s stress response.
Vitamin B5 is particularly known for its skin-supportive properties. It plays a major role in maintaining skin barrier integrity, enhancing moisture retention, and promoting repair and regeneration. Studies have shown that both oral and topical forms of pantothenic acid can help soothe inflammation, support wound healing, and reduce acne breakouts. Its calming and hydrating effects make it a popular ingredient in moisturizers, healing balms, after-sun lotions, and treatments for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
In addition to its dermatological benefits, Vitamin B5 also supports immune function. It aids in the production of antibodies and helps regulate the activity of white blood cells, both of which are critical for the body’s defense against infections. It also helps maintain healthy mucous membranes—protective linings found in the respiratory and digestive tracts—enhancing the body’s natural barriers to illness. While Vitamin B5 deficiency is uncommon, low levels can occur due to poor dietary intake, chronic stress, illness, or increased metabolic demand. Symptoms of insufficiency may include fatigue, irritability, muscle cramps, skin irritation, and slowed healing. Because it is water-soluble, the body does not store Vitamin B5 in large amounts, so regular consumption through diet or supplementation is necessary to maintain optimal levels. Pantothenic acid is generally safe and well-tolerated, even at higher doses. However, for best results, it’s important to choose bioavailable forms that the body can easily absorb and use efficiently. This ensures that Vitamin B5 delivers its full range of benefits—whether supporting cellular metabolism, skin hydration, or immune readiness.
At NATURIQ, we include Vitamin B5 in our formulations because of its proven ability to support skin resilience, energy production, and stress recovery. Whether you’re aiming to maintain clear, hydrated skin or looking to support your body’s ability to adapt to daily demands, Vitamin B5 offers foundational support to help you feel balanced, strong, and revitalized—starting from within.
