Hydroxyethyl Urea
Other names: 2-hydroxyethyl urea
Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Hydroxyethyl urea, also known as 2-hydroxyethyl urea, is an organic compound that is widely used in the cosmetic industry for its moisturizing and hydrating properties. It is a transparent, viscous liquid that has the ability to bind water and retain it on the surface of the skin or hair, improving their hydration and leaving them soft and supple. An important property of hydroxyethyl urey is that it does not cause skin irritation, as some other cosmetic ingredients do, making it an ideal choice for products designed for sensitive skin.
Hydroxyethyl urea is often found in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products. Among the most common are skin creams, serums, masks and moisturizers that use its hydrating properties to relieve dry and dehydrated skin. But it does more than just moisturize - it's also recognized for its ability to improve skin texture and increase skin elasticity. Hair products such as shampoos, conditioners and styling products also often contain hydroxyethyl urea as it can help soften hair and increase its shine. In addition to skin and hair care products, hydroxyethyl urea is also found in some deodorants, sunscreens, and even lipsticks.
