Product Information

Allantoin is found in plants like chamomile, wheat sprouts, sugar beet, and comfrey, a herb with purple flowers. Allantoin has soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties. The leaves of comfrey plants have been used for centuries to heal minor injuries and swelling. The substance is a common ingredient found in many anti-aging serums today.

Allantoin prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and can retain water in the skin cells. It can make your skin feel plumper and softer again.

• Healing: Allantoin can help heal minor injuries.

• Anti-inflammatory: Allantoin can act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Usage rate;

0.5-2%

It is an odorless white powder, soluble in water to 0.5%, very slightly soluble in alcohols, insoluble in oils and apolar solvents. Allantoin is stable in the pH range 3-8 and to 80°C prolonged heating.

Allantoin is compatible with most ingredients used in personal care formulations. Water solubility at greater than 0.5% is an issue. Suspending Allantoin in a thick base is the best way to resolve this issue. When formulating, care should be taken to look for Allantoin recrystallization.
