Allantoin is a healing and anti-inflammatory ingredient derived from urea that exhibits keratolytic action (removes excess keratinized epithelial cells) and stimulates cell division and replication of epithelial cells. This accelerates the regeneration of damaged skin and allows the skin to retain moisture and rebuild the protective moisture barrier. It acts as a moisturizing agent and is commonly found in skincare formulated for dry skin, acne, or allergies.
My Favorite Allantoin Containing Products Include:
COSRX Propolis Light Cream
The Cosrx Propolis Light Cream moisturizer is Infused with 65.69% of black bee propolis complex. The complex is composed of propolis extract, honey extract, and royal jelly extract, all of which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
