Why Urea Is the Ultimate Ingredient for Foot Care

When it comes to effective foot care, one ingredient consistently stands out: urea. Trusted by podiatrists and skincare professionals worldwide, urea is one of the most powerful and proven ingredients for treating dry, rough, and calloused feet.

Imperial Feet has built its reputation on professional-grade formulas that truly work — and urea plays a key role in many of its most loved products. 

Why Urea Is So Effective for Foot Care

Feet are exposed to constant pressure, friction, and dryness. The skin on the soles is thicker than anywhere else on the body, which means it needs ingredients that can penetrate deeply and work efficiently. Urea does exactly that.

💧 1. Deep Hydration

Urea is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. This helps restore the skin’s natural barrier and prevents further dryness, cracking, and flaking.

🪄 2. Softens Hard and Thickened Skin

One of urea’s unique properties is its keratolytic effect - it softens and breaks down hardened, thickened skin. This makes it ideal for treating calluses, rough heels, and pressure points.

🦶 3. Perfect for Problem Feet

From cracked heels to severe dryness and callus buildup, urea works where many ingredients fall short. It is effective yet skin-friendly, making it suitable for regular use and professional treatments.
