about Allantoin
Allantoin Extract as an ingredient in Metabase Cream offers many benefits for the skin:
Moisturizing Agent
Allantoin moisturizes the skin to prevent dryness and irritation. It is suitable for sensitive skin too because of its non-irritable nature.
Exfoliant
Allantoin helps in shedding dead skin cells. It is a keratolytic agent, meaning it can soften and separate out the cornified (tough) layer of skin. It keeps the skin smooth as the dead skin layer is now shed off.
Soothing Property
Allantoin has a calming effect on your skin. It is used as a soothing ingredient in skincare products.
Wound Healing Property
Allantoin is known for soothing injured skin and healing wounds. It is often used for skin irritation and rashes.
Provides Hydration
Allantoin prevents TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) and can retain water in the skin cells. It can make your skin feel plumper and softer again.
Cell Proliferation
Allantoin not only helps in shedding dead skin cells but also in cell turnover. Dull skin in aged people is a result of accumulated dead skin cells. Allantoin helps in cell proliferation, thus reducing dullness.
Anti-aging
Allantoin helps in the synthesis of collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that holds the skin cells together. Collagen levels decrease as you age, making the skin sag.
