Rep Power: 24 | Urea……. I once got in a big huge fight with Chipp about this property in products…… Remember ol’ Chipp???? Anyway…lets talk a moment about Urea… It is found in a lot of our tanning lotions. Lets see why.. Urea increases absorption of active ingredients.( remember we talked about active ingredients a few days ago).. It is known to relieve itchiness and helps to leave the skin smooth, and soft.. it is a "true moisturizer " rather than a humanectant since it retains moisture in the corneum layer of our skin. In formulations using Urea it can lower the use of other preservatives…..because it helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms.. This is because it has so much water in the crystal structure.. It is considered a buffering action ingredient.. It helps other active properties penetrate. This helps protect the surface of our skin…( look at the picture of the skin..see the surface....). So we see it helps other ingredients do their thing….. So our skin can do it’s thing…. This is good to see in your list of ingredients in a lotion or crème.. C |
