introduction | the main characteristics of hydroxyethyl urea are to provide moisturizing function to skin care products without sticky hand feeling, at the same time, it can increase skin elasticity, supplement skin moisture, and has good compatibility with various skin care materials, mild and non-irritating. Hydroxyethyl urea also has a higher cost performance. Compared with expensive humectants, hydroxyethyl urea can achieve the same effect with a lower formulation cost. |
Application | β-hydroxyethyl urea is a good moisturizer. It is widely used in cosmetic moisturizing products. The effect is similar to glycerin, but compared with glycerin, the moisturizing effect of hydroxyethyl urea is more significant. |
Preparation | β-hydroxyethyl urea can be obtained by the reaction of ethanolamine and urea. Ethanolamine is added into the reaction pot, urea is added under stirring, heated to 110-115 ℃, reacted for 4 hours, and then cooled to obtain the finished product. |
use | this product is an intermediate of the antibacterial drug furazolidone. |
