Product Description
Allantoin is a naturally derived, water-soluble compound known for its soothing, moisturizing, and skin-protective properties. Widely used in skincare formulations, it promotes cell regeneration, enhances skin’s moisture retention, and calms irritated or sensitive skin. Allantoin’s ability to soften the skin and accelerate healing makes it an essential ingredient in anti-aging, moisturizing, and repairing products. Whether you’re formulating for professional use or creating DIY skincare at home, Allantoin helps improve the overall health and feel of your skin.
Recommended Usage Levels
- Usage Rate: 0.1% to 2%, depending on the formulation. A typical concentration for moisturizers and sensitive skin formulations is 0.5%.
- Best Practices: Allantoin is heat stable but should ideally be added in the cool-down phase (below 50°C) to avoid crystallization. This helps prevent “shardy” textures in your final product.
