WHAT IS UREA IN COSMETICS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Urea is a molecule naturally produced by the body. Widely used in cosmetics for its moisturizing and nourishing benefits, urea is now produced industrially and is permitted in several organic cosmetic preparations.

It is also known for its keratolytic action when present at a concentration of 10% to 15% in a cream. At this dosage, urea becomes a gentle, grain-free exfoliant that dissolves dead skin cells.

Urea is also antibacterial; it is recommended for people who suffer from skin disorders related to dry skin.

THE BENEFITS OF UREA

• It purifies the skin: in cases of acne, blackheads, or uneven skin texture, urea limits the proliferation and development of bacteria

As you may have guessed, urea is an active ingredient that can be used for body hydration, from head to toe.

Urea-based cleansing soaps can be very effective against keratosis pilaris, a non-contagious skin condition linked to the overproduction of keratin. Generally speaking, the use of urea-based cleansing soap is suitable for (very) dry skin and helps to lock in moisture in the stratum corneum for long-lasting hydration.

These body products are suitable for rough, tight, and very dry skin. They provide hydration and protection while leaving skin feeling smooth and supple.

Thanks to its keratolytic agents, urea effectively reduces scales. The keratolytic agents in urea are essential in the treatment of psoriasis.
