INCI Name: Urea Ingredient Type: Humectant / Skin-Conditioning / Keratolytic Active Solubility: Highly soluble in water Appearance: White crystalline powder or granules
Formulation Note: The function of Urea depends considerably on its concentration. Lower levels are primarily used for moisturising and hydration, while higher concentrations provide progressively stronger softening and keratolytic effects. Excessive heat during processing should be avoided, and the final formulation pH should be appropriately controlled to support stability.
For cosmetic formulation use. Suitable for creams, lotions, serums, gels, hand creams, foot-care products and formulations targeting very dry, rough or thickened skin.
