Question

  1. Does HYDRO-Urea need Gluconolactone to reduce decomposition?
  2. If HYDRO-Urea is used at 10% concentration, does it have the same exfoliation properties as Natural Urea?

Answer

Hello!

Here are the answers to your questions regarding the difference between HYDRO-Urea and Natural Urea, based on the information provided:

  • Does HYDRO-Urea need Gluconolactone to reduce decomposition?
    It is recommended to use Gluconolactone to stabilize Hydro-Urea and achieve maximum stability. The suggested ratio is approximately 1 part Gluconolactone to 5 parts Hydro-Urea. For instance, if your formula contains 10% Hydro-Urea, it is recommended to use 2% Gluconolactone.

  • Does HYDRO-Urea at 10% concentration have the same exfoliation properties as Natural Urea?
    Hydro-Urea is more stable and provides a better skin feel compared to regular Urea (referred to as Natural Urea). In terms of effectiveness, both types are comparable for both moisturizing and exfoliation properties.

Thank you!
