- Hydrating
- Increases the water content of skin.
- Desquamating
- It encourages natural exfoliation in the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin. Allantoin interacts with the skin's keratin to thin out an abnormal, thick stratum corneum, this is the reason that allantoin is known for leaving skin feeling smooth.
- Repairing and Healing
- It is well known for its ability to stimulate cell proliferation, encouraging new tissue growth. It is known to be extremely wound healing; research has shown that it clears away necrotic tissue, making way for a healthy new tissue.
- Relieves dryness
- Promotes cellular regeneration, counteracting dryness and repairing an impaired barrier, allantoin encourages sensitive skin to become more resilient.
- Protecting
- This is one ingredient that really does soften the skin, it also protects chapped, sun damaged skin, studies have shown that it protects against UV induced cell damage.
- Soothing
- It is considered an excellent anti-irritant, calming and soothing inflamed skin. So its great when used in baby products.
- Keratolytic action
- In performing its protective and regulatory functions, the outer layer of skin our epidermis, synthesizes a very large number of proteins and oils (lipids) that are naturally found in the stratum corneum.
- Cell proliferant, an epithelization stimulant and a chemical debrider.
