Features
Allantoin is a naturally-occurring chemical compound. In its pure form, it is a white, odorless powder.
Many plants contain allantoin, such as comfrey, horse chestnut, and bearberry. Additionally, some mammals excrete allantoin in urine. While manufacturers can extract allantoin from plants, they prefer making it from urea and glyoxylic acid.
Companies add allantoin to many personal care products due to its ability to protect the skin from irritation. It temporarily stops irritants from inflaming wounds or sensitive skin.
