Hydroxyethyl urea is a popular water-soluble moisturizing ingredient widely applied in the cosmetic and skincare industry, renowned for its excellent hydration performance, mild nature and compatibility with various skincare formulations.
As a derivative of urea, hydroxyethyl urea inherits the moisture-locking advantage of urea while overcoming the potential stickiness and irritation issues of traditional urea, making it more suitable for daily skincare products. In terms of moisturizing efficacy, it works by penetrating the stratum corneum and binding to skin keratin, effectively enhancing the skin's water-holding capacity and reducing transepidermal water loss. It can provide long-lasting hydration for the skin, leaving it soft, plump and smooth without a heavy or greasy after-feel.
Besides its core moisturizing function, hydroxyethyl urea also has the effect of improving skin texture. It can help soften the stratum corneum, enhance the skin's ability to absorb other active ingredients, thus boosting the overall efficacy of skincare products. Its mild and non-irritating properties make it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive and dry skin. It is commonly added to lotions, creams, serums, facial masks and other skincare products, and can be well combined with other moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides to create a synergistic moisturizing effect.
Moreover, hydroxyethyl urea has good stability and can maintain its efficacy under different pH conditions, which is not easy to decompose or affect the quality of cosmetic formulations. These advantages make it a favored moisturizing ingredient in the cosmetic industry, especially in products targeting dry and dehydrated skin.
