Among the large family of skin care ingredients, allantoin is a "treasure ingredient" that is often mentioned but perhaps not well known to the public. Today, let's take a good look at the magical effects and mechanisms of allantoin in the field of skin care.

What is allantoin?

Allantoin is a compound that exists naturally in many plants and can also be obtained through artificial synthesis. It has the advantages of being non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic, which makes it widely used in various skin care products to meet the needs of people with different skin types.

Allantoin was originally extracted from the roots and leaves of Lithospermum officinale. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, keratin-releasing and skin-softening effects, and has anti-trichomoniasis and cell proliferation-promoting effects; however, due to the low content of natural allantoin extracted from natural animals and plants by traditional processes, the process is complex and the cost is too high, it cannot be used on a large scale. Therefore, chemical synthesis is now mainly used to extract synthetic allantoin.

Efficacy of allantoin

When the skin is damaged, allantoin shows its outstanding "repair master" talent. Whether it is a minor sunburn, abrasion, or skin inflammation caused by seasonal changes, allergies, etc., allantoin can accelerate the healing process of damaged skin by promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, reduce inflammatory reactions, relieve skin discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, and tingling, and restore the skin to a healthy state as soon as possible.

In terms of improving skin texture, allantoin also has a good performance. It can gently remove aging keratinocytes on the surface of the skin, promote the generation of new cells, make the skin smoother and softer, enhance the elasticity of the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin glow with youthful brilliance. It is a powerful ingredient in anti-aging skin care products.

Application of allantoin

In the field of medicine, allantoin can promote cell growth, accelerate wound healing, soften keratin and other physiological functions. It is a good healing agent and anti-ulcer agent for skin trauma. It can be used to relieve and treat skin inflammation, gastrointestinal ulcers, cirrhosis, diabetes and other diseases.

In skin care products, adding allantoin and its salts can protect the skin, hair tissue, hydrophilic, absorb water and prevent water from escaping. It can lock the skin with moisture, keep it moisturized and elastic, and promote skin metabolism. It has the effects of whitening, moisturizing and removing free radicals.

Allantoin is often used with sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronic acid can form a breathable film on the surface of the skin to prevent water from being lost through the epidermis, and can absorb a large amount of water and retain the water in the stratum corneum of the skin. When paired with allantoin, it can not only replenish the skin with water from the inside, but also form a moisturizing barrier on the surface of the skin to prevent water from being lost, so that the skin can remain moisturized for a long time.

If you see allantoin in the ingredient list of skin care products, it means that this product may have a good performance in moisturizing, repairing, and improving skin quality. However, everyone's skin condition is different, and the reaction to the ingredients will also be different. When choosing skin care products containing allantoin, it is recommended to try it on a small area of skin first to observe whether there is any discomfort. I hope everyone can use allantoin, a skin care "artifact", to cultivate healthy and beautiful skin! Choose cosmetic raw materials, choose AHUALYN.
