Allantoin

Allantoin is a chemical compound produced from uric acid and is found naturally in our own bodies as well as in many other animals and plants and commonly derived from the comfrey plant. It has been used in skincare and shampoos for many years and has an excellent safety profile. Its main use is for moisturising and soothing the skin. It is a humectant, meaning it can attract and retain moisture as well as being soothing and calming. Allantoin also aids in the wound healing process.
