Allantoin

Allantoin. Allantoin by Akema acts as a skin-active ingredient with keratolytic, moisturizing, soothing, skin protectant effect and anti-irritant properties. Promotes the renewal of epidermal cell and accelerates wounds healing. It dissolves the intercellular cement that holds the cornified cells together, helping the natural desquamation of startum corneum and increasing skin smoothness. The moisturizing effect results from its ability to increase the water bounded to the intercellular matrix and keratin, thereby softening skin and making the skin look healthier. It forms complexes and neutralizes many irritants and sensitizing agents. It is safe and fully compatible with cosmetic raw materials like anionic, cationic and non-ionic systems. It can be incorporated in emulsions. Allantoin is used in body-, face-, shaving-, baby-, lips-, sun- and hair-care, bath products and oral preparations. It is approved for use in EU, US, China, Latam, ASEAN. Complies with CTFA and JSCI requirements.
