Information
Urea is a naturally occurring compound and an important component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), a group of substances that help maintain the skin’s hydration and protective barrier. In skincare, urea is valued for its ability to attract and hold moisture while contributing to softer and smoother skin.
Where does it come from?
Urea is naturally produced by the body and is present in healthy skin as part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor. For cosmetic use, urea is synthetically produced in a controlled process to ensure high purity, consistency, and safety. Modern cosmetic urea is not derived from animal or human sources.
Hydrating: Attracts and holds moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and well hydrated.
Softening: Can smooth rough, dry areas and improve the feel of the skin.
Strengthening: Protects the skin’s natural moisture barrier and overall resilience.
Conditioning: Can keep skin feeling supple, comfortable, and nourished.
Harmonizing: Can maintain optimal moisture levels for a healthy-looking complexion.
Exfoliating: Contributes to a smoother-looking skin texture by gently promoting the skin’s natural exfoliation process.
How is it used in our products?
