INCI: Urea
Urea, known as carbamide, is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the metabolism of proteins in our body.
Urea hydrates, gives elasticity and softness to dry/rough or stressed skin, from eczema and psoriasis.
In addition, it has anti-aging properties for the skin, because it helps in the natural process of hydration, and at the same time enhances the absorption of other ingredients by the skin.
In high concentrations, it can also act as a keratolytic/exfoliating agent, because it breaks down the keratin on the skin’s surface.
This has the effect of reducing the accumulation of dead skin, i.e. gentle exfoliation.
That’s why it’s used to help remove dead tissue in some wounds to speed up their healing.
RECOMMENDED USE LEVEL: 1 – 10 % (up to 20 %)
