Allantoin powder
Allantoin is a nature-identical cosmetic ingredient commonly used in skincare formulations for its gentle, skin-comforting properties. It is widely valued for its ability to support smooth product feel and improve the overall sensory experience of formulations.
This allantoin is produced synthetically in an aqueous acidic environment, without the use of organic solvents. The result is a high-purity, consistent ingredient that is safe, non-toxic, non-GMO, and suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications.
Allantoin is effective at low usage rates and is typically included in products designed for sensitive, dry, or easily irritated skin. It is commonly found in creams, lotions, serums, toners, cleansers, and after-sun or after-shave products.
Formulation notes
- Allantoin is usually used at 0.2–0.5% in cosmetic formulations.
- While it can be used up to 2%, concentrations above ~0.5% can be difficult to fully dissolve and may leave the solution cloudy.
- It dissolves best in heated water and should be added to the water phase.
- Ensure sufficient mixing and heat to achieve full dispersion.
