Urea – The gold standard for dry and dehydrated skin
 
Upgrade your skincare routine with pure urea. As an essential component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), this water-soluble active ingredient powder is an indispensable raw material for anyone wishing to create their own effective cosmetics.
 
Urea is a true all-rounder: it binds moisture in the deeper layers of the skin, smooths the skin's texture, and—at higher concentrations—acts as a gentle keratolytic (dissolving dead skin cells).
Your benefits at a glance:
 

     Intensive hydration: Acts as a highly effective humectant directly within the stratum corneum.
     
     Active ingredient booster: Thanks to its penetration-enhancing properties, it helps other active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin.
     
     Immediate relief for problem skin: Ideal for dry, irritated, flaky, or mature skin.
     
     Versatile application: Perfect for face creams, body lotions, and specialized foot care products.
