Allantoin hydrates the skin by drawing in moisture and preventing water loss, leading to increased skin suppleness and reduced dryness.
Allantoin functions as a humectant, attracting moisture from the environment to the skin and locking it in. By increasing skin hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), allantoin promotes smoother, more supple skin and can alleviate dryness and irritation.
