UREA
Urea is naturally present in the skin (it accounts for 8%), and is a versatile ingredient used in dermocosmetics for its moisturising and exfoliating properties. It is one of the natural moisturising factors (NMF) and an active ingredient that effectively combats dry skin. It traps water molecules in the epidermis, ensuring optimum hydration. In high concentrations, urea stimulates skin renewal by activating the elimination of dead cells, leaving the skin softer and smoother. Finally, concentrations of 20% or more strengthen the skin barrier, limiting trans-epidermal water loss.
