About Allantoin
"Allantoin helps to heal wounds and skin irritations, and stimulate growth of healthy tissue. This extract can be found in anti-acne products, sun care products, and clarifying lotions because of its ability to help heal minor wounds and promote healthy skin. The keratolytic effect and abrasive and astringent properties of allantoin are used in skin softening cosmetic preparations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allantoin
Cosmeceutical Critique: Allantoin
Baumann LS.,Skin & Allergy News- 2003 06 (Vol. 34, Issue 6)
"Allantoin is an extract of the comfrey plant, which is native to Europe and temperate areas of Asia.
This keratolytic agent is recognized for its potent healing and soothing properties and has been a popular ingredient in many folk remedies. For centuries, poultices made from comfrey leaves were used to promote the healing of minor fractures by reducing swelling in the area of the break.
Allantoin began to gain acceptance in the U.K. medical community in the early 20th century based on longstanding anecdotal evidence supporting its beneficial activity. This provided the foundation for the current use of allantoin in a broad spectrum of personal care formulations, including hand lotions and creams; sun and after-sun products; shave and aftershave products; shampoos and other hair care products; antiperspirants; deodorants; talcum powders; tooth pastes; mouth washes; baby products; soaps; detergents; and preparations for the feet, eyes, and rectum. The presence of allantoin stimulates cell proliferation, contributing to internal and external wound healing."
