Urea je jedan od sastojaka koje koža prirodno proizvodi radi regulisanja količine vode, poznatih kao prirodni vlažeći faktori (NMF). Urea je higroskopna, vezuje vodu u završnom, rožnatom sloju kože. Urea takođe ima keratolitičko svojstvo, što znači da razbija veze između mrtvih ćelija kože i tako poboljšava odstranjivanje ćelija, čime površina kože postaje glatka. Kako je prirodni sastojak kože, urea se dobro podnosi, čak i kod osoba koje pate od ekstremno suve kože.

Ceramides are important lipids in the hydrolipid film (which protects the external layers of skin). Produced naturally in healthy skin, they strengthen the skin barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation and keeping out irritants that can cause inflammation and itching. When skin’s Ceramide levels fall the skin barrier is impaired. Skin can start to lose water and become dry and irritated.
Eucerin uses synthetic Ceramides that are biologically-identical and that enhance skin’s natural barrier – locking in moisture and preventing dryness and irritation.

NMFs are a variety of water soluable compounds like amino acids, Urea and Lactic Acid which naturally occur in the stratum corneum (outer layer of the epidermis). They increase the water-binding capacity of the skin, keeping it well hydrated.
