Urea cream emollients are used to moisturize and treat dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin, as well as minor skin irritations like diaper rash and skin burns from radiation therapy. These emollients work by softening and moisturizing the skin, reducing itching and flaking. Some products, like zinc oxide and white petrolatum, also protect the skin from irritation, such as wetness.

Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the top layer of the skin. Urea cream emollients work by forming an oily layer on the skin's surface, trapping water in the skin. Common emollients include petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone. Humectants, like glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of the skin.

Additionally, these emollients often contain ingredients that soften the top layer of skin cells and help them fall off, such as urea and alpha hydroxy acids (like lactic, citric, and glycolic acid) and allantoin. This helps the skin retain more water and leaves it feeling smoother and softer.
