Product Info:
Urea is a powerful humectant and keratolytic agent known for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin while promoting gentle exfoliation. It helps soften rough, dry, and calloused skin by breaking down dead skin cells and improving moisture retention. Urea is widely used in foot creams, hand lotions, body moisturizers, and treatments for dry, flaky, or sensitive skin.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Add to the water phase of formulations
- Works best in combination with other humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid
- Suitable for creams, lotions, serums, and exfoliating treatments
- Avoid high temperatures above 50°C to maintain efficacy
