Quick Product Facts Table

Mechanism of Action
Urea at 25% works by softening and dissolving intercellular keratin in thick, hardened skin (keratolysis), allowing retention of moisture. Emollients like lanolin and petroleum provide a barrier to reduce water loss, and the moisturizing base helps improve skin suppleness and repair.
