Function:
Moisturizing function: 2-Hydroxyethylurea molecules contain hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl and urea groups, which can absorb moisture from the air and retain it on the surface of the skin or other substances, and have good moisturizing properties.
Improve skin feel: It can make the skin feel softer and smoother, reduce roughness, and enhance the skin feel after using skin care products or cosmetics.
Solubilization: In some formulas, it can help dissolve other insoluble ingredients and improve the stability and uniformity of the formula.
Adjust pH value: To a certain extent, it can regulate and buffer the pH value of the system, which helps to maintain the acid-base balance of the product.
Application:
It is widely used in skin care products such as lotions, creams, essences, and masks. As a moisturizer, it replenishes and locks moisture for the skin, keeps the skin hydrated, and can also enhance the skin’s barrier function and reduce water loss.
Topical preparations: In some topical ointments, gels, and other preparations, it is used as a moisturizer and skin penetration enhancer to help drugs penetrate into the skin tissue better, improve the efficacy of drugs, and reduce the irritation of drugs to the skin.
