Urea is a naturally occurring substance in our skin that is found in the upper skin layers. It has a vital role in maintaining the body’s so-called natural moisturising factor (NMF). Urea gives moisture to the skin cells and keeps the skin smooth and supple. Due to its hydrating effects it helps the skin to maintain its elasticity. It also helps to increase the skin’s capacity to store moisture and stabilises the skin’s natural barrier function. In higher concentrations, urea also has keratolytic properties; it softens the calloused skin layer so it can be easily released.
The natural and highly effective moisturiser urea provides long-lasting and intense moisturisation, thus helping  to reduce dry and calloused areas. Foot creams with urea will help to regenerate and rehydrate dry rough and calloused skin of the feet, making them soft and supple again.
