1. What is Ebanel 40% Urea Cream?
Ebanel 40% Urea Cream is a high-concentration specialty moisturizer containing 40% urea and 2% salicylic acid, formulated to help repair and restore extremely dry, rough, callused, and thickened skin. It is manufactured in an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in California, USA. The cream is designed for use on areas prone to severe dryness and calluses, including feet, heels, elbows, knees, and knuckles.
2. How does 40% Urea Cream work?
At 40% concentration, urea functions as both a humectant and a keratolytic agent. As a humectant, it draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it. As a keratolytic, it helps break down the buildup of hardened, dead skin cells, resulting in softer, smoother skin. The 2% salicylic acid in this formula supports exfoliation and enhances effectiveness on rough, thickened skin areas.
3. What type of urea is used in the cream?
This formula uses high-quality USP-grade synthetic urea (carbamide), designed to mimic the urea naturally found in the skin. It helps moisturize and gently exfoliate, supporting smoother, softer-looking skin without unnecessary irritation.
4. Is 40% Urea Cream vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients and is cruelty-free.

6. How should I use 40% Urea Cream?

8. Should 40% Urea Cream leave a chalky or sticky residue?
This formula creates a protective layer over dry, rough skin to retain moisture and support the skin barrier. For best results, apply a thin layer and massage until absorbed. Remove any excess with a tissue or paper towel.
