In the dynamic world of cosmetics and personal care, the demand for ingredients that deliver tangible benefits is ever-growing. Among these, Allantoin USP 99% powder stands out as a highly effective compound, widely recognized for its exceptional skin-conditioning, soothing, and regenerative properties. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to offer this premium ingredient, a nature-identical synthetic compound that meets stringent USP specifications, ensuring unparalleled purity and performance for your formulations.

Allantoin, chemically identified by its CAS No. 97-59-6 and molecular formula C4H6N4O3, is an imidazole heterocyclic compound. While naturally occurring in the comfrey plant, the vast majority used in commercial applications is synthetically produced to meet global demand, providing a consistent and reliable supply. This white crystalline powder is odorless and demonstrates good solubility in water (approximately 1 gram per 200 milliliters), making it a versatile addition to a wide range of aqueous formulations. It remains stable across a pH range of 3-8 and can withstand prolonged heating up to 80°C, though care must be taken during hot applications to prevent recrystallization upon cooling.

The efficacy of Allantoin lies in its multifaceted benefits for the skin. It is celebrated for its moisturizing and repairing effects, particularly beneficial for chapped, rough, or damaged skin. Allantoin enhances the skin's natural ability to absorb and retain moisture, improving the affinity of keratin molecules to water and restoring the compromised stratum corneum to its natural water absorption capacity. By forming a subtle lubricating film on the skin's surface, it effectively seals in moisture, ensuring prolonged hydration and a smoother skin texture.

Beyond hydration, Allantoin exhibits remarkable soothing and anti-irritant properties. It is capable of effectively reducing the irritation caused by other compounds in a formulation, making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin products. Furthermore, its keratolytic action gently promotes the desquamation of dead skin cells, softening the keratinized layers and leading to a more radiant and even skin tone. This unique ability to soften keratin and hydrate the intercellular space leaves the skin feeling supple and looking luminous.

Allantoin is also a potent antioxidant, comparable in activity to Vitamin C, which helps to strengthen cellular defenses against free radical damage. Its ability to accelerate wound healing and promote healthy tissue growth is particularly notable, rendering it a valuable active agent for treating minor skin injuries, cuts, scrapes, and burns. In recognition of these protective qualities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists Allantoin as a Category I (safe and effective) active ingredient for skin protectant purposes when used within a concentration range of 0.5% to 2.0%.

The versatility of Allantoin makes it an indispensable ingredient across numerous cosmetic and personal care products. It is extensively used in lotions, creams, sun care and after-sun formulations, shampoos, scalp rinses, shower gels, lip balms, and baby care products. Its amphoteric nature also allows it to combine with various substances, making it a valuable additive in soaps, toothpastes, shaving lotions, hair conditioners, astringents, antiperspirants, and deodorant lotions. The recommended use rate typically ranges from 0.2% to 2.0%, depending on the desired application and claim.
