What are the other ingredients (panthenol, vitamin F, allantoin) doing in the formula alongside the urea?

While urea is the key active for softening hardened skin, the other ingredients address complementary aspects of dry, stressed skin. Panthenol (provitamin B5) is valued for helping skin feel calmer and more supple, which can be beneficial when skin is reactive from frequent washing or friction. Vitamin F is not a single vitamin but refers to essential fatty acids like linoleic acid. These help reinforce the skin's natural barrier function, which is often compromised in very dry skin, thereby helping to reduce ongoing moisture loss. Allantoin is known for its soothing and smoothing properties, further supporting the skin's comfort as the urea works on the rough texture. Together, they create a formula suited not just for dryness, but for skin that is coarse and reactive.
