Allantoin
Allantoin is used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning ingredient.
Why it is used
Contributes to the conditioning approach of some moisturisers and related products.
Who may find it relevant
May be relevant in a product chosen for comfort, without guaranteeing individual tolerance.
Formulation compatibility
Can be formulated with humectants and emollients.
Compatibility inside one finished formula is not an instruction to layer or mix separate products.
A common misconception
Its presence does not justify a claim that a cosmetic heals wounds.
Where this appears in Venvia products

Planned ingredient highlight supplied by Venvia; confirm against final INCI
General evidence for an ingredient is not evidence for a finished product. Venvia products are still in development and no product claims are made here.
