Nature-identical and produced synthetically, so it carries none of the batch-to-batch variability of a plant extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllantoin is valued for its conditioning and softening effect on the skin's surface. It has a mild keratolytic action, helping loosen and shed surface dead skin cells, which is why formulations containing it tend to feel smoother and more comfortable in use. It is a standard inclusion in products for sensitive or easily reddened skin, after-sun and post-shave preparations, nappy creams, lip balms, hand creams and scalp treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormulating with it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1–2%.
