Allantoin

What is Allantoin?

Allantoin is a chemical compound found naturally in many plants, including chamomile, wheat germ and comfrey. It is also commonly made synthetically to ensure purity and consistency in skin care products. Allantoin is known for its moisturizing, soothing and healing properties and is a favorite in many skin care products for sensitive skin.

Allantoin works by stimulating cell renewal and promoting the exfoliation of dead skin cells, which helps improve skin smoothness and promote a healthier skin texture. Its ability to soothe the skin also makes it an ideal ingredient for products targeting sensitive or compromised skin.

Advantage

Moisturizing: Allantoin helps increase the skin's moisture level by strengthening the skin barrier and reducing transepidermal water loss.

Calming: Has a calming effect on irritated skin and is ideal for use after dermatological treatments.

Healing: Promotes wound healing and is effective for treating minor skin irritations and scratches.

Usage tips:

Frequency: Can be used daily in appropriate concentrations, as part of both morning and evening skincare routines.

Application: Apply products containing allantoin to cleansed skin, focusing on areas that need extra care or moisture.
