Urea is an organic compound naturally found in the human body.  Urea has been medically proven in various clinical studies to have extraordinary anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that promotes fast healing of dry cracked split skin, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, acne and other types of problem skin.  The urea in our products (a white and odorless powder) is produced from salt compounds and does NOT come from any animals or humans.

The body uses this type of urea in the same way as the urea naturally found in the skin.  Scientists call it a true "humectant"  because it is an important component of the body's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF).  Urea causes hard dry skin cells to "unpack"  and expose their water binding sites, thereby enabling the cell to absorb and retain additional moisture.  This action is also known as hydrotopic solubilization and several independent clinical investigations and studies prove that it works. By virtue of it's inherent qualities urea skin cream produces astonishing results as an eczema skin treatment and a psoriasis skin treatment.

• Clinical Studies
  In a clinical study, urea has been proven to heal serious wounds and burns without any scarring.
  Further studies have shown that in addition to its' anti-bacterial and anti-septic qualities, urea also has anti-itch properties that have a very rapid effect on problematic red itchy skin rashes and even the common mosquito bite.
  Urea has an antipruritic (anti-itching) effect that can be demonstrated experimentally in a controlled double-blind study.  In diseases such as eczema this anti-itching property is of great importance.
   

As research studies show, urea replenishes the water content of the skin because it binds hydrogen and attracts moisture to the skin in a way that no mineral oil or glycerine-based lotions or creams can.   In the many years of laboratory studies researchers discovered that , unlike just about all other types of oil-based moisturizers that simply sit on the top layers of the skin and do nothing to improve , urea actually increases the water-binding capacity of the skin by opening skin layers for hydrogen bonding, which then attracts moisture to dry skin cells.

• On The Beauty End

On the beauty end, urea penetrates the deepest layers of the skin where it actually binds water in the horny skin layers, plumping up the skin for a firm, supple, wrinkle-free appearance, (water retention within skin cells gives skin its elasticity and wrinkle-free appearance) providing skin renewal and benefits that other formulas cannot.  Urea is naturally found in healthy, young skin and is an important part of your skin's natural, moisturizing system.

Urea is a scientifically proven moisturizer and is a far better moisturizer and skin treatment than even the most expensive oil-based creams or lotions that you can buy or get as a prescription from your doctor.  Skin needs water, not oils, to make it soft and younger looking. 

Almost all of the commercial and often astronomically expensive lotions and creams we buy to soften dry skin are composed of lipids, or oily substances, like mineral oil, which we think will moisturize and beautify our skin.  But in reality, urea does a much better job of moisturizing the skin than oil-based moisturizers because it keeps water within the skin layers, making it supple and soft.  You'll be absolutely amazed at the softness and beauty of your skin after even one treatment with urea cream.  Old dead skin immediately flakes away, and your skin becomes wonderfully soft, rosey and with time, even wrinkles will disappear.
