Allantoin and the Pescatarian Diet
Allantoin is a chemical compound that is frequently used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to its ability to soothe, protect, and regenerate skin. It is known for its keratolytic (skin-softening) and moisturizing effects, making it a popular ingredient in skin care products. Although allantoin can be synthesized from animal sources, it is typically produced synthetically or derived from plant sources such as comfrey root. It is not commonly used as a food ingredient.
