Due to its superb water-binding power, urea is an effective moisturizer and humectant, drawing moisture to the skin and hydrating dry areas. It’s a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that appears in skin’s outer layer. This natural moisturizer is found in healthy skin, though dry skin has lower levels.

Urea boasts antibacterial, antiviral & antimicrobial properties.

Urea rehydrates the skin and minimizes water loss as it reduces the amount of water lost through the skin’s epidermis (outermost skin layer). This is very useful to help dry skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Strengthens skin’s barrier: Urea helps skin cells renew and regenerate, thus keeping skin’s barrier strong and healthy. In turn, a strong skin barrier can keep out potential irritants.

Urea improves the penetration of other active ingredients so they are more easily absorbed by the skin.

Because of urea’s excellent moisturizing capability, dry skin will find exceptional relief. You should notice supple, softer skin. Dry patches should diminish, while skin texture should improve, becoming smooth and resilient.

Especially useful for elbows, dry cracked heels and hands that are exposed to detergents.
