Allantoin / Active cosmetic substance

Allantoin is a chemical compound often found in many cosmetic and personal care products due to its remarkable soothing and moisturizing properties. It can be found naturally in the horsetail plant (Symphytum officinale) and in some other plants, but can also be synthesized in the laboratory.

Allantoin is known for its ability to promote skin regeneration and soothe irritation, making it an excellent ingredient for products designed for sensitive or irritation-prone skin. It also helps to retain moisture in the skin, making it softer and smoother.
