Product Overview

This Urea Body Smoothing Cream is a non-comedogenic and fast absorbing formula designed for dry, rough and bumpy skin patches on the body. The formula contains two powerhouse moisturising ingredients, Urea and Lactic Acid. They both occur naturally in our skin as part of our natural moisturising factor (NMF). They are effective humectants that hold onto water and provide deep moisturising to tackle dry, flaky and itchy skin. They are also effective keratolytic agents meaning they can help reduce dead skin build up on the surface to smoothen rough and bumpy skin. Keratolytics are especially helpful in skin conditions caused by clogged hair follicles such as Keratosis pilaris (KP) commonly known as strawberry skin or chicken skin. Colloidal Oatmeal in this formula contains lipids that nourish, moisturise and soften the skin texture to combat roughness and flakiness. These lipids re-enforce the skin barrier and replace skin's lost oils in dry and irritated skin. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help decrease itchiness and redness for an effective soothing action. Betaine in this formula is an osmoprotectant which occurs naturally in our skin and controls the right water balance in cells to protect skin cells against dehydration. Shea Butter is a naturally occurring plant oil that contains many beneficial nutrients including vitamins A, E and F as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. It effectively locks in moisture and softens the skin without clogging pores.

Ingredients

Key Ingredients

Urea (synthetic)

  • Part of our skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF) which reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increases water content, resistance against osmotic stress as well as optimizing the skin barrier function
  • Topical use offers deep moisturising to tackle dry, flaky and itchy skin
  • Significantly improves, softens and moisturises thick or callused skin on the knees, hands and elbows
  • At higher concentrations it is also a keratolytic agent meaning it can help reduce dead skin build up on skin’s surface to smoothen rough and bumpy skin
  • Multiple clinical trials have shown significant clinical improvement by topical urea treatments on skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and Keratosis pilaris (KP)

Lactic Acid

  • Part of our skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF) which attracts and retains water on the skin to reduce dehydration
  • An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that speeds up desquamation which is the natural process of shedding dead skin cells. It gently breaks the bonds that hold dead, dry and scaly skin cells on the surface
  • A powerful humectant to increase skin hydration. Perfect for dry and sensitive skin
  • Forms a film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin dryness
  • Helps soften and smooth the skin and improve its overall texture ideal for rough or scaly skin

Colloidal Oatmeal

  • A form of oatmeal that is produced by finely grinding oats then boiling them. This process allows a better delivery of its active ingredients to the skin
  • Has strong emollient characteristics making it an excellent moisturiser. It contains lipids that nourish, moisturise and soften the skin texture. These lipids re-enforce the skin barrier and replace skin's lost oils in dry and irritated skin
  • Contains polysaccharide components such as Beta-glucans with strong hygroscopic (water-holding) properties. They Draw moisture to the skin's surface, increase hydration levels and reduce the appearance of roughness and flakiness
  • Contains phenolic components such as Avenanthramides which have significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help decrease itchiness and redness for an effective soothing action
  • Hydrated granules of Colloidal oatmeal adhere to the surface of the skin and provide a film attracting humidity. 

Betaine

  • Occurs naturally in our own body. Skin cells accumulate betaine actively during environmental stress such as osmotic stress and UV-radiation
  • It also occurs naturally in plants such as sugar beet
  • A gentle osmoprotectant which controls the right water balance in cells without interfering with normal cellular processes. It protects skin cells against dehydration and restores cell water balance
  • Strengthens skin barrier by Improving the quality and cohesion of Stratum Corneum which is the outer layer of skin
  • Significantly reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through creating a protective film on skin surface
  • It can also counteract chemical irritants suitable for sensitive skin

Shea Butter

  • Naturally occurring plant oil that contains many beneficial nutrients including vitamins A, E and F as well as triglycerides
  • High concentration of unsaponifiable compounds such as triterpenes, tocopherol, phenols, and sterols provide potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
  • It's antioxidant properties are beneficial to protect all skin types from the impact of harmful free radicals
  • It's anti-inflammatory properties provide skin soothing ideal for sensitive skin with compromised skin barrier
  • An emollient with effective skin softening properties which locks in moisture without clogging pores suitable for all skin types
  • Well known to assist cutaneous dryness, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, solar erythema and superficial burns
