Urea
Urea is one of the most effective moisturising ingredients there is on the market. It is extremely hydrating and even be useful for common skin conditions including rashes, burns, eczema and keratosis.

Lanolin
Medical grade Lanolin can be used an ointment base, as the skin easily absorbs it. It makes for a great moisturising ingredient for dry skin as it emulsifies water on the skin and locks it all in.
