UREASE

Safety grade: A

Urease is an enzyme that breaks down urea, a naturally occurring compound found in skin and urine. It works by converting urea into simpler substances that can affect how thick or thin a product feels.

Urease is used in cosmetic formulations to control product thickness and consistency by enzymatically breaking down urea, which helps adjust the viscosity and spreadability of creams, lotions, and other skincare products.
