Allantoin USP-Powder

Description

Allantoin powder is a white, water-soluble powder used in skincare and cosmetics for its powerful moisturizing, soothing, and cell-regenerating properties, helping to heal wounds, reduce irritation, soften skin, and treat conditions like diaper rash and dryness. Derived naturally from plants like comfrey or made synthetically, it’s a safe, non-toxic ingredient that promotes cell proliferation and protects the skin by forming complexes with irritants, making it ideal for lotions, baby products, anti-aging formulas, and hair care.

Allantoin has a moisturizing and keratolytic effect, increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells, increasing the smoothness of the skin; promoting cell proliferation and wound healing; and a soothing, anti-irritant, and skin protectant effect by forming complexes with irritants and sensitizing agents. Allantoin stimulates healthy, normal tissue formation even at low concentrations.

BENEFITS OF USING ALLANTOIN:

1. Moisturizing: Increases skin hydration and smoothness by drawing water to the skin’s surface (humectant).

2. Soothing & Anti-Irritant: Calms redness and irritation, protecting skin from sensitizers.

3. Wound Healing: Promotes cell proliferation, aiding in tissue repair and healing of minor cuts and sores.

4. Skin Protectant: Forms protective barriers, good for diaper rash and rough skin.

5. Keratolytic: Helps shed dead skin cells, improving texture and smoothness.

CAS No: 97-59-6

INCI: Allantoin

Percentage purity: 99%

Colour & Appearance: White, odorless powder.

Solubility: Water-soluble

Recommended Usage Rate: (up to ~0.5%), but can be suspended in thicker bases for higher concentrations (up to 2%).

Stable in pH range: 4–8

Mixing method: Incorporated into the water phase or during the cooling phase of emulsions, avoiding high heat (above 50°C/122°F) to prevent crystallization. Good agitation is required to thoroughly disperse the allantoin to achieve a suitable suspension.

Melting Temperature: Avoid high heat above 50°C/122°F

Compatibility: Allantoin is compatible with most ingredients used in personal care formulations. Water solubility at greater than 0.5% is an issue. Suspending Allantoin in a thick base is the best way to resolve this issue. When formulating, care should be taken to look for Allantoin recrystallization.

Precautions: Addition of Allantoin at 0.5% or more or at temperatures above 50°C (122°F) in aqueous systems can cause solubilization and recrystallization upon cooling into larger particles which are perceptible during product use.

Applications: Anti-aging serums, acne treatments, moisturizers, hair mask, soothing gels, scalp care products, shampoo, conditioner, etc

Packaging:
Allantoin Powder is sealed in water- and air-tight ziplock pouches to ensure maximum freshness and protect against moisture contamination.
