Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

It is formed by the action of UV light, most specifically UVB light of wavelengths between 295 and 300 nm, acting on 7-dehydrocholesterol in the epidermal layers of the skin.[1][2][3]

The B ring of the steroid nucleus structure is broken open, making a secosteroid. This then undergoes spontaneous isomerization into cholecalciferol, the prohormone of the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol.

The synthesis of previtamin D3 is blocked effectively by sunscreens.[4]
