Allantoin: Algallure Skin Care


Allantoin is a new ingredient for me. I have done some extensive research on this ingredient becausse one of my favorite skincare has it in its products. I have seen some amazing results and I needed to really look into what they have in their skincare. I have written articles on algae and vitamin c. Both ingredients are in Algallure Skin Care.
This ingredient is used as a moisturize to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking.
Allantoin has a wonderful affinity with the skin. It is an active moisturizing ingredient found in the root of the Comfrey herb.
It has a lovely therapeutic action that promotes skin healing; a safe anti-irritant that is used extensively in the skin care industry.

BENEFITS OF ALLANTOIN

Quite a lot of research has been carried out on the compounds found in Allantoin.
Hydrating: Increases the water content of skin.
Desquamating: It encourages natural exfoliation in the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin.
Repairing: It is well known for its ability to stimulate cell proliferation, encouraging new tissue growth.
It is known to be extremely wound healing, research has shown that it clears away necrotic tissue, making way for a healthy new tissue.
Healing: An active skin protector, it naturally encourages the skins healing process; making it a suitable ingredient for treating minor wounds and irritations.
Relieves dryness: Promotes cellular regeneration, counteracting dryness and repairing an impaired barrier, allantoin encourages sensitive skin to become more resilient.
Protecting: This is one ingredient that really does soften the skin, it also protects chapped, sun damaged skin, studies have shown that it protects against UV induced cell damage.
Soothing: It is considered an excellent anti-irritant, calming and soothing inflamed skin. So its great when used in baby products.
Free Radical Activity: Topical application helps reduce free radical activity on the skin.
Keratolytic action: In performing its protective and regulatory functions, the outer layer of skin our epidermis, synthesises a very large number of proteins and oils (lipids) that are naturally found in the stratum corneum.
This is referred to as keratinisation, if this is out of balance more keratin than usual is produced and the structure of the barrier function is changed.
Allantoin is clever, in that it actually interacts with the skin’s keratin to thin out an abnormal, thick stratum corneum, this is the reason that allantoin is known for leaving skin feeling smooth.
An amazing in ingredient? It sure is. And you will find it in Algallure Skin Care! I love this skincare. It is amazing. Click on the name to send you to their website and check out their beautiful products.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments.

High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
