Urea for Cosmetics - Deep Hydration & Gentle Keratolytic Care

Urea (INCI: Urea) - A Powerful Moisturizing Active for Healthy-Looking Skin

Urea is one of the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and a highly valued cosmetic ingredient known for its outstanding hydrating and keratolytic properties.

Its strong moisture-binding ability helps the skin attract and retain water, supporting the skin barrier while improving softness, elasticity and overall skin comfort. Regular use leaves the skin feeling smoother, healthier and deeply hydrated.

Urea also acts as a gentle keratolytic ingredient, helping remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture without the intensity of stronger exfoliating acids. This makes it an excellent choice for formulations designed to restore radiance and enhance the penetration of other active ingredients.

Suitable for both professional and DIY cosmetic formulations, Urea is widely used in creams, lotions, emulsions, serums, shampoos, body washes and intensive foot care products.
