Science & Benefits
Hydroxyethyl Urea is a powerful humectant derivative that provides a hydration efficacy comparable to glycerin but with a significantly lighter, non-sticky finish. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. Its logic in an acne database lies in its ability to increase skin elasticity and support the moisture barrier without adding any oiliness or occlusive weight, making it ideal for layering under sunscreen.
