Urea

Urea refers to a synthetic or naturally occurring compound known as carbamide. Urea is commonly used in skincare and personal care products due to its hydrating and exfoliating properties. It is a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture, helping to improve skin hydration. Urea also has keratolytic effects, aiding in gentle exfoliation by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells. This makes it a valuable ingredient in moisturizers, creams, lotions, and foot care products, promoting smoother, softer skin with improved moisture retention.
