Assalamu Alaykum
I want to know if a face cream/ BB cream which contains allantoin can be used externally? Also, can salah be prayed with it when applied? The product does not specify if the allantoin is animal or plant-based.
Jazakallah

Answer:
Allantoin sourced from the uric acid of urine will be deemed impermissible.[1] Allantoin derived from plants or produce synthetically will be permissible.
