Description
Urea Powder is a versatile and highly effective ingredient available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya, primarily used in compounding and for various dermatological applications. As a potent humectant and keratolytic agent, Urea powder is widely utilized in preparing topical formulations for managing a range of skin conditions. It works by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, providing intense hydration for severely dry, rough, or scaly skin (e.g., in conditions like ichthyosis, xerosis, or eczema). Additionally, its keratolytic properties help to gently break down and loosen dead skin cells, making it effective in treating hyperkeratotic conditions such as psoriasis, corns, calluses, and cracked heels. It promotes smoother, softer, and more supple skin.
