10% Urea Body Butter
10% Urea Body Butter is an ultra-rich, deeply penetrating moisture balm engineered to repair severely dry, compromised, and rough skin. Combining high concentrations of water-binding humectants like Urea, Glycerine, and Panthenol with rich emollients and lightweight esters, this formulation restores the skin barrier while smoothing out rough texture without leaving a greasy residue.
Key Ingredients & Role
-
Urea (10%): Acts as a high-potency humectant and gentle keratolytic agent. It loosens dead skin cell buildup and binds moisture deep within the stratum corneum.
-
Water: Forms the hydrating aqueous base necessary to dissolve Urea and Panthenol, allowing deep absorption into the skin.
-
Glycerin: Works synergistically with Urea to draw water into the upper skin layers, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
-
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Deeply soothing anti-inflammatory agent that speeds up skin barrier repair, calms irritation, and enhances tissue hydration.
-
Cocoa Butter & Ugandan Shea Butter: Heavy, antioxidant-rich botanical fats that provide intense lipid replenishment, soften rough patches, and seal in long-lasting moisture.
-
Jojoba Oil: A light, bio-compatible liquid wax that mimics human sebum, restoring skin elasticity without clogging pores.
-
IPM (Isopropyl Myristate): A fast-absorbing ester that reduces the heavy, greasy feeling of thick butters, ensuring a smooth, elegant, and velvety skin feel.
-
CSA (Cetearyl Alcohol) & GMS (Glyceryl Monostearate): Primary and secondary co-emulsifiers and bodying agents that create a rich, luxurious cream structure and stabilize the emulsion.
Key Benefits
-
Intensive Moisture Lock: Dual action of deep-penetrating humectants (Urea, Glycerine, Panthenol) and occlusive butters ensures sustained all-day hydration.
-
Smooths Rough Texture: Mildly exfoliates and dissolves keratin buildup, helping smooth conditions like Keratosis Pilaris ("strawberry legs").
-
Accelerated Barrier Repair: Panthenol and natural lipid-rich fats soothe inflammation and repair cracked, irritated skin barriers.
-
Non-Greasy Luxury Finish: IPM balances the heavy feel of Cocoa and Shea butters, giving a fast-absorbing, velvety finish.
Who Would Benefit Most?
-
People with Extremely Dry or Flaky Skin: Ideal for chronic xerosis, severe winter dryness, or compromised skin barriers.
-
Those with Keratosis Pilaris (KP): Helps break down bumpy keratin plugs around hair follicles to restore smooth skin texture.
-
Individuals with Eczema or Psoriasis-Prone Skin: Offers deep barrier restoration and soothing relief for rough, dry patches.
-
Overworked Hands, Knees, and Heels: Softens tough, calloused skin and repairs cracked heels or rough elbows.
