Why we use it
Urea is one of the superstar ingredients in our hydrating toner, Aqua Factory. While urea has many incredible benefits to the skin, it also has an unpleasant habit of breaking down over time into ammonia. Triacetin bonds with broken-down urea to prevent the formation of ammonia and keep the formula stable.
