Our allantoin is a nature-identical, safe, non GMO, non-toxic product, which makes it affordable as well.
It is derived from synthetic urea in an aqueous acidic environment, without the use of solvents.
Dermatological properties
Allantoin is a healing, moisturising, soothing and anti-irritating, keratolytic and non-toxic agent useful in dermatological, cosmetic and veterinary preparations. It is a valuable cell-proliferating healing agent which stimulates healthy tissue formation. Allantoin has a pronounced skin-softening action, acts as chemical debrider of necrotic and scaling tissue, cleaning up the areas where applied.
Allantoin is effective at quite low concentrations: 0.2% to 2%. Anything above 0.5% is very difficult to fully disperse in water.
Allantoin is used in the treatment of skin ulcers, wounds, scalds, burns and sunburns, carbuncles, acne and skin eruptions, fissures and abrasions, impetigo, eczema, and psoriasis.
