WHAT IT DOES: Moistureizer/Humectant
A derivative of Urea, that works as a strong moisturizer and humectant meaning that it helps the skin to cling onto water and thus to make it hydrated and elastic.
Hydroxyethyl Urea has a similar moisturizing ability to glycerin (measured at 5%), but it feels nicer on the skin as it is non-sticky and non-tacky and gives a lubricous and moist feeling to the skin.
This humectant helps replenish and maintain skin's moisture levels. In addition to its powerful hydrating ability, it also helps promote cell turnover.
