10% Urea Body Cream
10% Urea Body Cream is an intensive moisturizing and gentle keratolytic formula designed to soften, restore, and hydrate severely dry, rough, or flaky skin. By combining the high-potency humectant properties of Urea and Glycerine with deeply nourishing botanical fats and light emollients, this cream delivers deep hydration while reinforcing the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Key Ingredients & Role
-
Urea (10%): Functions as a powerful humectant and gentle exfoliant (keratolytic). It draws water into the stratum corneum while breaking down built-up dead skin cells to smooth skin texture.
-
Glycerine: Works synergistically with urea to attract and hold moisture in the outer layers of the skin, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
-
Water: Serves as the continuous aqueous base, ensuring proper solubility and deep penetration of humectants.
-
Emulsifying Wax (E-wax) & Cetearyl Alcohol (CSA): Provide stable emulsification, structure, and a velvety rich feel, giving the cream an elegant glide and texture.
-
Ugandan Shea Butter & Cocoa Butter: Rich in natural fatty acids and antioxidants, these heavy occlusives seal in moisture, repair damaged skin barriers, and provide long-lasting comfort.
-
Jojoba Oil & Castor Oil: Jojoba mimics natural skin sebum to balance lipid balance, while Castor oil adds rich humectant and emollient properties to soothe cracked or inflamed skin.
Key Benefits
-
Dual-Action Hydration & Exfoliation: Simultaneously dissolves dry, rough patches and binds water deep within the skin layers.
-
Soothes Roughness & Bumps: Effectively smooths texture caused by skin buildup, such as keratosis pilaris ("strawberry legs").
-
Barrier Restoration: Dense lipid matrix from Shea, Cocoa, and plant oils creates a physical protective barrier against environmental aggressors and moisture loss.
-
Softens Thickened Skin: Penetrates and softens tough skin areas like elbows, knees, calloused hands, and cracked heels.
Who Would Benefit Most?
-
Individuals with Very Dry or Flaky Skin: Ideal for anyone suffering from chronic dryness, xerosis, or seasonal winter skin cracking.
-
People with Keratosis Pilaris (KP): The mild exfoliative power of 10% Urea helps unclog keratin buildup around hair follicles to smooth bumpy skin.
-
Those with Eczema or Psoriasis Prone Skin: Provides barrier repair and deep comfort for non-acute dry patches associated with skin conditions.
-
Active Individuals or Outdoor Workers: Great for hydrating and restoring overworked hands, calloused feet, and rough joints.
