What it is — Allantoin (INCI: Allantoin) is a small compound that occurs naturally in plants such as comfrey; the cosmetic-grade material is typically produced synthetically to a consistent purity.

What it does — It is commonly used as a soothing and conditioning agent that helps skin and scalp feel calm and comfortable, and is often associated with a smoother-looking surface. It is a classic, gentle comfort ingredient.

Typical use — Appears in soothing creams, after-sun and post-treatment products, sensitive-skin moisturizers and scalp tonics, usually at low levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Well suited to sensitive, dry or easily irritated skin. It pairs naturally with panthenol, centella and beta-glucan in calming formulas.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a gentle, well-tolerated soothing ingredient. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is reactive.
