Allantoin
Allantoin is a naturally occurring compound found in plants such as comfrey root, and is one of the most well-tolerated and multifunctional soothing ingredients in skincare. It is widely recognized for its ability to calm irritation, accelerate skin cell renewal, and support the healing of compromised or sensitized skin — all while being exceptionally gentle and non-irritating.
Allantoin works by promoting the natural desquamation process — the shedding of dead skin cells — which helps smooth texture and improve the skin's receptivity to other active ingredients. At the same time, it soothes redness and discomfort, making it an ideal ingredient in both treatment and recovery formulas.
- Soothing — calms redness, irritation, and sensitivity in reactive or compromised skin
- Cell renewal support — promotes gentle desquamation for smoother, more refined skin texture
- Healing support — accelerates the skin's natural repair process and supports recovery after treatments
- Hydration enhancement — helps the skin retain moisture and improves overall comfort
- Compatibility — exceptionally well-tolerated, suitable for sensitive, post-treatment, and reactive skin types
