Allantoin
When it comes to skincare, some ingredients do their work quietly — no scent, no drama, just reliable, daily performance. Allantoin is one of those underrated heroes. It’s the ingredient your skin knows, trusts, and heals with — especially in hardworking areas like your hands.
That’s why we’ve included allantoin in our hemp Hand Protection Cream — where it helps soothe irritation, support skin regeneration, and leave your hands feeling soft, never greasy.
What Is Allantoin?
Allantoin is a naturally occurring compound found in plants like comfrey, chamomile, sugar beets and wheat sprouts. Most modern skincare uses a synthetic, vegan-friendly version, which mimics the natural compound’s gentle healing effects — without the potential allergens.
It’s known for being:
Non-irritating, even on sensitive or compromised skin
Highly compatible with the skin’s natural repair process
Ideal for dry, flaky, rough, or chapped skin
Skin Benefits of Allantoin

Why We Use It
Your hands do a lot — and they often take the brunt of it: cold wind, frequent washing, cleaning products, dirt, sun exposure. Allantoin helps bring them back to balance.
We use it in our Hand Protection Cream to:
Soothe dry, stressed hands
Support skin repair without irritation
Improve long-term softness and reduce flaking
Work in synergy with hemp seed oil, macadamia oil, and stearic acid to rebuild the skin barrier
It’s one of the key reasons our hand cream feels like a balm but absorbs like a dream.
Where You’ll Find It
A daily essential for anyone who uses (and overuses) their hands. Whether you're a gardener, maker, parent or just someone who washes their hands a lot — this cream delivers comfort without compromise.
Who It’s Great For
Dry, rough, cracked or over-washed hands
Sensitive or eczema-prone skin
People who work with their hands or spend time outdoors
Anyone needing non-greasy, high-performance hand care
Allantoin may not be a flashy ingredient, but it’s one your skin loves — especially when life gets a little too rough on your hands. In our Hand Protection Cream, it’s part of a formula designed not just to moisturise, but to restore, protect, and comfort.
