Allantoin is a substance that is endogenous to the human body and also found as a normal component of human diets. In healthy human volunteers, the mean plasma concentration of allantoin is about 2-3 mg/l. During exercise, the plasma allantoin concentration rapidly increases about two fold and remains elevated. In human muscle, urate is oxidized to allantoin during such exercise. The concentration of allantoin in muscles increases from a resting value of about 5000 ug/kg to about 16000 ug/kg immediately after short-term exhaustive cycling exercise. More specifically, allantoin is a diureide of glyoxylic acid that is produced from uric acid. It is a major metabolic intermediate in most organisms. Allantoin is found in OTC cosmetic products and other commercial products such as oral hygiene products, in shampoos, lipsticks, anti-acne products, sun care products, and clarifying lotions. Allantoin has also demonstrated to ameliorate the wound healing process in some studies.

Regulatory Framework
Assessment Methodology
Masuu Global follows a scientifically justified, risk-based toxicological approach aligned with internationally recognized guidelines accepted by EMA, PIC/S, and ANVISA.
EMA – Guideline on Setting Health-Based Exposure Limits (HBELs)
Provides the framework for establishing scientifically justified PDE/ADE values for use in shared manufacturing facilities.
PIC/S – Shared Facilities and Contamination Control Guidance
Supports the application of HBEL-based approaches for cross-contamination prevention and cleaning validation.
ICH Q9 – Quality Risk Management
Provides a structured methodology for risk identification, assessment, control, communication, and review.
ICH M7 – Assessment and Control of DNA-Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities (where applicable)
Applied for compounds with potential mutagenic or genotoxic concerns.
Risk-Based Toxicological Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of available toxicological and pharmacological data, including NOAEL, LOAEL, BMDL, pharmacological potency, carcinogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, sensitization potential, and target organ toxicity.
Weight-of-Evidence (WoE) Approach
Integration and critical review of all relevant data sources, including non-clinical studies, clinical studies, human exposure data, pharmacological information, post-marketing safety data, and structure–activity relationship (SAR/QSAR) assessments.
How We Work
Report Preparation Process
Every assessment moves through a rigorous five-stage workflow — from data gathering to regulatory-ready delivery.
Comprehensive Data Review
Assessment of pharmacology, toxicology, clinical data, literature, and available regulatory information.
Scientific Evaluation
Identification of critical endpoints and selection of appropriate exposure limits.
PDE / HBEL Derivation
Transparent and scientifically justified calculations aligned with global toxicological principles.
Ex-Agency Expert Review (Our Differentiator)
Reports are reviewed with an ex-agency perspective, bringing regulatory expectations, inspection readiness, and practical implementation into every assessment.
Final Report Delivery
Regulatory-ready reports with scientific rationale, calculations, and clear recommendations by certified toxicologists (ERT, UKRT and DABT).
Ex-Agency Advantage
Why Masuu Global?
Our ex-agency toxicologists bring a practical regulatory perspective that transforms how assessments are built, reviewed, and defended.
Regulatory expectation–driven assessments aligned with how authorities actually evaluate submissions.
Inspection-ready reports — scientifically defensible and audit-prepared from day one.
Faster review cycles with direct decision support from certified toxicologists (ERT, UKRT, DABT).
Practical implementation recommendations that translate science into actionable contamination control.
Reduced internal effort — offload complex assessments without sacrificing quality or defensibility.
Global reach across PDE/ADE, HBEL, OEL, OEB, cleaning validation, and impurity assessments.
