ALLANTOIN

WHAT IS ALLANTOIN?

Allantoin is a classic skincare ingredient that has been used for many decades. It is best known for its soothing, regenerating, and protective properties. Originally derived from the comfrey root, it is now predominantly produced synthetically to ensure consistent purity and efficacy.

Its action is based on stimulating cell renewal, smoothing the skin, and reducing irritation. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin in need of additional regenerative support.

Unlike many modern, aggressive actives, Allantoin is distinguished by its excellent tolerability. It does not cause irritation, delivers reliable results, and has therefore become a staple in a wide range of skincare products – from cleansers and creams to medical-grade formulations.

Overall, Allantoin is a reliable base ingredient that supports healthy skin function and restores balance. It stands for a form of skincare that not only alleviates symptoms but also strengthens long-term skin health.

NATURAL SOURCES AND PRODUCTION OF ALLANTOIN

Although Allantoin occurs naturally, the ingredient used in skincare products today is mostly of synthetic origin to guarantee consistent quality.

• Natural sources: Found in plants such as comfrey, wheat germ, and horse chestnut
• Synthetic production: For cosmetic purposes, Allantoin is synthesized under controlled laboratory conditions to ensure the highest purity and stability
• Effectiveness in skincare: Provides reliable soothing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerating benefits without side effects

Thanks to these properties, Allantoin is now a key component of many skincare formulations and is regarded as a universally applicable ingredient for the care of sensitive and stressed skin.
