Using Allantoin in Skincare Formulations
Allantoin enhances the efficacy and appeal of dermatological and cosmetic formulations by acting as a skin protectant and providing necessary moisture. It works as an exceptional healing, moisturizing, soothing and anti-irritating agent. Adding allantoin as an emollient to a formulation can help soothe and prevent dry, rough and itchy skin.
How Allantoin works
Allantoin is a crystallized oxidation product of uric acid found naturally in many plants. It enhances the efficacy and appeal of dermatological and cosmetic formulations by acting as a skin protectant and providing necessary hydration. The addition of Allantoin to cosmetic formulations results in softer, suppler skin.
In addition to moisturizing, Allantoin also helps to gently exfoliate the skin by softening the top layer of skin. Because of its soothing properties as a keratolytic agent, it can be a great ingredient in formulations developed to reduce dullness or for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Since Allantoin is both a skin protectant and moisturizer, it helps protect against trans-epidermal water loss. Preventing moisture loss is important for calming irritated skin and improving skin texture for all skin types.
Uses of Allantoin
Allantoin has been used in a wide variety of personal care products and cosmetics for decades due to its gentleness and effectiveness including:
Skincare use for
Creams, lotions and cleansers for the face, hands and body
Lip balms
Shave and Aftershave products
Serums, toners and mask...view more

Safety of Allantoin
Most emollients, such as allantoin, are generally considered safe for human use on a daily basis, as well as safe for the environment. The US FDA has classified allantoin as an OTC Category I active ingredient (safe) for use at 0.5% to 2.0%. In addition, this means that allantoin is effective as a skin protectant even at low concentrations for cosmetic use.
The FDA has approved the following statements for nonprescription drug products containing 0.5% - 2.0%:
For the temporary protection of minor cuts, scraps, burns and sunburn
Helps prevent and temporarily protect chafed, chapped, cracked or wind-burned skin and lips.

Niacinamide PC is DSM's new, upgraded version of this popular Vitamin B3. Our upgraded Niacinamide PC provides all the benefits of topical vitamin B3 while minimizing potential unwanted effects such as unpleasant sensations of heat in the skin. These are caused by residual nicotinic acid. DSM’s branded vitamin B3 is guaranteed to contain less than 100 ppm residual nicotinic acid, making it exceptionally suitable for skin care applications. Niacinamide PC has also been shown to amplify blue light protection in combination with sunscreens and DSM's DL-Alpha-Tocopherol, and to offer protection from air-borne and water-borne pollution. Niacinamide PC is a white, crystalline, odorless powder with a low content of niacin. It is freely soluble in water and in alcohol, soluble in glycerol, and very slightly soluble in ether or chloroform. It is practically stable to air, light, and humidity. It is fairly stable in solutions. Strong acids or alkalis may cause hydrolysis to nicotinic acid. view less
