INCI Name: Urea
Urea is a molecule produced by the body itself as part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which is the foundation of a healthy barrier. Today, urea is one of the most common moisturizing ingredients used in skin care products.
The oil is anti-infective, stimulates lymph circulation, anti-inflammatory, and insect repellent.
It is mainly used in cosmetics due to its oil-absorbing and deep-cleansing properties.
