Products Description
Hydroxyethyl urea is a high‑efficiency moisturizing raw material widely used in cosmetics, personal care, pharma, industry, and agriculture. It delivers long‑lasting hydration, improves dryness and roughness, enhances skin elasticity, and offers a refreshing non‑sticky skin feel superior to traditional humectants like glycerin. It is mild, well‑tolerated, and suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. A skin patch test on the inner arm is recommended before full application.
