What is Allantoin? Allantoin is an imidazole heterocyclic compound, a derivative of uric acid, which is a natural component of human skin. Uric acid acts as an antioxidant and reacts with free radicals to produce allantoin, which was extracted from the underground stems of the comfrey family in 1912. Allantoin can promote the growth of cells and tissues, metabolism, and soften stratum corneum proteins. These properties are especially evident when allantoin is applied to ulcers and purulent skin, so it has the ability to speed up wound healing and is a good active agent for the treatment of skin damage.
