Allantoin can promote the growth of skin cells and make the wound heal quickly. Used as an anti ulcer drug, mixed with dried Aluminium Hydroxide Gel, used for peptic ulcer and inflammation. This product can soften keratin and keep skin moist, moist and soft. It is a special additive for cosmetics. Allantoin and its derivatives are also quality improvers and additives for many daily chemical products. Allantoin protein can be used to prepare scalp preparations for anti irritation, anti dandruff, cleaning and wound healing, which can make hair soft, shiny and elastic. This product is an amphoteric compound, which can combine multiple substance forms of double salt, and has the functions of avoiding light, sterilization and corrosion, pain relief, deodorization and oxidation resistance. Therefore, it is an additive for daily chemical products and beauty cosmetics, such as freckle cream, acne liquid, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, shaving lotion, astringent liquid, anti sweat deodorizing detergent, etc. Allantoin is also a biochemical reagent.
