Urea is a pharmaceutical-grade powder formulated for compounding and topical preparation purposes. Urea is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that plays a key role in maintaining moisture balance, skin barrier function, and keratolytic action. In higher concentrations, it is often used in dermatological formulations to soften thickened skin, support hydration, and assist in the treatment of dry, rough, or scaly conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and keratosis.
