DESCRIPTION
UREA USP

Cosmetic urea USP: a humectant that hydrates and softens dry, rough skin. Used in foot and hand creams and body lotions.

Description

It is nearly odorless but may develop an ammonia odor; it has a cool, salty taste. Urea is a compound naturally produced by the body that, among other things, helps maintain the skin's natural moisture.

Properties

Helps hydrate even the driest skin. It is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily takes up moisture from the air.

Practical formulation guide
Dose: The recommended dosage of urea in natural cosmetics is 1–5 % for moisturizing and 5–10 % for moisturizing and smoothing rough skin. For an intensive exfoliating product, the dosage is 10–15 %.
How to use and incorporate: Add to the water phase at the beginning of the process. Can be used to premix gums and polymers before dispersing them in water to avoid lumps.
Formulation tips:
  • Combine with emollients or occlusives to reduce water loss and balance the skin feel.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Storage: Storage In tightly closed containers, in a dry place.
Precautions: Low-hazard product. Avoid contact with eyes.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
