Allantoin: What does the inconspicuous ingredient do in your skincare?
You can often find allantoin in a formula that ensures that the skin feels pleasant. According to COSMILE Europe, the ingredient has skin-care, protective and soothing functions . In the list of ingredients it is simply called Allantoin . So you don’t need any special translation to find it in a cream, serum or toner.
An example is the Biodance Cera-nol Gel Toner Pads . In addition to allantoin, they also contain panthenol and ceramide NP. After cleansing, you can use a pad to gently stroke from the center of the face outwards, avoiding the eye area. According to the manufacturer, the pads can also be placed on areas that you would like to treat with a little additional moisture. You don’t need a lot of pressure.
Especially for sensitive skin the application should remain gentle. An ingredient with a soothing function is not an invitation to rub more often or more vigorously. If you prefer to apply care with your hands, you don’t have to switch to pads for allantoin: it also comes in other textures. Choose the shape that you feel comfortable with.
