Allantoin promotes wound healing, speeds up cell regeneration, and has a keratolytic effect. It produces its
 desirable effects by promoting and speeding up the healthy, natural processes of the body. It helps the skin
to help itself.
In pharmaceuticals and dermatology, allantoin is used in the treatment of ulcers, slow-healing wounds and burns.
Addition of it to wound ointments and healing compositions promotes wound cleansing and healing. Allantoin has been
 classified by the US FDA OTC Topical Analgesic Review Panel as a Category I active ingredient (skin protectant),
at use-levels of 0.5～2.0%. The FDA approved applications include minor cuts, scrapes, burns, sunburn, fever blisters, diaper rash and chafed, chapped, cracked or wind burned skin and lips.
In cosmetics, allantoin is used in numerous preparations, where it enhances cell renewal, skin soothing, skin
moisturizing, cleansing and healing action. In addition, it has the advantages of being non-toxic, non-irritating
and effective in low concentrations. Allantoin promotes cell regeneration in skin exposed to and weakened by
 environmental factors, and helps to promote and maintain the health of intact skin on the body and face.
Addition of it to hand lotions and hand creams helps eliminate rough, chapped skin, and leaves hands smooth
and soft. In hair care, because of its extraordinarily good keratolytic properties, allantoin is a valuable
 additive in various products such as shampoos and hair gels, especially for the treatment of dandruff.Allantoin has
 been incorporated into various lotions and creams, lipsticks, aftershave balms, suntan products, bath foams, baby
 products and various aerosol preparations. It has also been used in oral hygiene products such as toothpaste and
mouthwash. Its good compatibility with most relevant materials also allows it to be easily incorporated into
 existing formulations.
The recommended use level in cosmetics is 0.1～0.5%.
