Can you use allantoin in the lye/water phase of soaping? I only want to use it at.2%, and I know it needs heat to dissolve sufficiently. I'm just not sure if the lye water will be too hot for the allantoin to maintain its beneficial properties.

Thanks.

Allantoin is extremely hard to dissolve. I doubt it would survive the high pH of lye. Allantoin is better in a lotion as it stays on the skin. Soap is a wash off product.
