Good news, it’s an organic product and yes, it can be sourced out from animals, plants and even micro organisms. It is present in botanical extracts of comfrey plant and urine from cows and most mammals (source: Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allantoin). It is very safe and the ones being sold are mostly chemically synthesized, so don’t get “yucky yet”. LOL!
What’s the minimum concentration for it to work?
At least 0.1% to 2% (Source: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-allantoin.htm and http://www.skincareresourcecenter.com/Allantoin.html ).

So how does it work?
It has a moisturizing effect (makes your skin hydrated and not dry), keratolytic (removes the exposed part of the skin), increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix (making the connective areas of the skin hydrated, you need this also if you after an anti aging product), enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells (removal of the old or dead skin), and increasing the smoothness of the skin (Voilà! The magic word…hehehe!).

ReplyDeleteHi Jack, thanks for the comment...yes, there are several anti-aging products available out there... this can be one of those choices available... choosing one that suits us should always be a consideration and we should choose this carefully... not to be trapped by commercials.
