It functions as a keratolytic agent at higher concentrations, promoting desquamation and cell renewal, while at standard cosmetic usage rates (0.1–2%) it acts primarily as a skin protectant, anti-irritant, and moisturizing agent. It is amphoteric, non-ionic in behaviour at physiological pH, and compatible with a wide range of cosmetic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINCI: \u003cstrong\u003eAllantoin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Does For Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eSoothes irritation and redness\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the most effective anti-irritant actives available;
