INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Allantoin Powder

Allantoin is a cosmetic ingredient used to support skin comfort, improve overall skin feel, and contribute to barrier-supportive formulations. It is widely used across creams, serums, cleansers, and products designed for sensitive or compromised skin.

Our allantoin is supplied as a high-purity, cosmetic-grade powder with COA-backed specifications, selected for consistent performance and reliable formulation behaviour.

In formulation, allantoin is typically used at low levels to support overall formula mildness and improve skin feel without altering the character of the base system.
