Allantoin

What is it?

Usually derived from comfrey, Allantoin can also be extracted from sugar beets and wheat.  It’s used for its regenerative properties. Non-toxic, non-irritating and non-allergenic, Allantoin works by hastening the healing processes of the body and helping the skin to heal itself.  In texts such as the Merck Index, British Pharmaceutical Codex and the United States Dispensatory, it has also been termed a cell proliferant, chemical debrider (exfoliator) and epithelization (cellular) stimulant. Allantoin can clean away necrotic (unhealthy dead) tissue, speeding the growth of new healthy tissue. Since it stimulates healthy new tissue growth, healing epithelization may take place. Ideal as a skin protectant,

Allantoin is moisturizing and keratolytic, meaning that it causes keratin in the skin to soften. This property helps skin to heal more quickly and to bind moisture more effectively, making products containing allantoin useful for and for healing burns and scars.
