Hydroxyethyl Urea
Industrial Applications
Hydroxyethyl Urea is a highly effective humectant used across personal care, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. In personal care applications, it enhances skin hydration by increasing the water content of the stratum corneum, making it ideal for lotions, creams, serums, and conditioners. Industrially, Hydroxyethyl Urea is also utilized in textile and coating formulations where moisture retention, flexibility, and smooth texture are desired. It serves as a non-tacky, non-greasy moisturizing agent compatible with a wide range of formulation types.
Physical Properties
Hydroxyethyl Urea is a clear to slightly yellow, odorless, viscous liquid that is highly soluble in water. It is non-ionic and exhibits excellent stability across a wide pH and temperature range. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to effectively bind water, enhancing the sensory feel and performance of formulations without affecting viscosity.
