USAGE GUIDELINES
Allantoin is soluble in your water phase but only at the small rate of .57%. Heat does not help, as anything higher than .57% will drop out of solution as it cools and becomes abrasive.
Allantoin is a valuable cell-proliferating healing agent which stimulates healthy tissue formation. Allantoin has a pronounced keratolytic and skin softening action, acts as chemical debrider of necrotic and scaling tissue, clearing up the areas where applied. Allantoin is effective at quite low concentrations.
As a natural component, allantoin is found in comfrey.
Usage: allantoin can be used from 0.25% - 0.5%. (Allantoin can recrystallize (glass shards) at above 0.57% so are best added at no more than 0.57%
To incorporate allantoin into your formulation add it to your water phase first. No need to heat and do not exceed the recommended usage rate.
Use in formulations for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, sunburns, dry and/or cracked lips, and diaper rashes. Allantoin is nontoxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic.
Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, allantoin should last two years. It is hygroscophic (it will absorb moisture from the air), so consider double-bagging it if you live somewhere humid.
