Allantoin

This is an automatic translation

Allantoin is a chemical substance obtained as a final product from the oxidation of uric acid; this substance is present in many plants, such as horse chestnut, comfrey (herbaceous plant), soybeans and coffee leaves, but in most cases it is used as a chemical synthesis product. It comes in the form of a white to off-white crystalline powder, odorless and tasteless.

Thanks to its multifunctionality, allantoin is widely used in products for skin beauty care, but also for hair care.

We can find it as an ingredient in anti-aging cosmetic products, because thanks to its antioxidant power it helps reduce the signs of skin aging.

It is also a good ally in case of spots and marks on the skin, this is because it promotes scarring and tissue repair, deeply hydrating and keeping the skin in good condition.

It is also used for its astringent, anti-irritant and soothing properties, as it helps relieve skin discomfort in cases of redness or irritation, protecting it. The same action is carried out on the scalp.
