There is not enough ingredient-specific evidence to give Pantolactone a firm seborrheic-dermatitis verdict. Its cosmetic role is mainly to help hold moisture and condition skin, not to treat yeast or inflammation.

No direct human seb derm or exact-name Malassezia evidence was found. That absence is not proof of benefit or harm, so judge the complete formula instead. A simple patch test can be useful when adding a new leave-on product during a calm period.
