Ingredients

Urea

Urea (also known as Carbamide) is produced naturally by the skin and is part of the essential Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Urea is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture into the outermost layer of skin. It is also keratolytic, meaning helps the skin to get rid of dead skin cells dead skin cells, to make it smooth again, and has anti-itch and anti-microbial properties. As a result, it improves natural exfoliation and soothes and smoothes the skin’s surface. As a substance produced naturally by the skin, Urea is well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin. Because all of these effects and very good study data, Urea is the gold standard in treating of dry skin.*

Lactate (Lactic Acid)

Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also produced naturally by skin and is part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin.

Polidocanol

Polidocanol is an antipruritic agent (something used to relieve itching) that has been clinically proven to soothe skin and help reduce itching.

How Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Shampoo works

Urea, Lactate and Polidocanol are the key active ingredients in Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Shampoo. Urea and Lactate are part of skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor – substances produced by your body to maintain your skin’s moisture level. When there is a skin barrier dysfunction, Urea and Lactate levels can fall, leading to dryness, itching and inflammation. Polidocanol soothes skin and relieves itchiness.

They work together to reduce moisture loss from the scalp and to soothe itchiness.
