Urea (urea)
Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Urea, also known as urea or in some cases called undecanol or hendecanol, is one of the most important substances in the human body. It is a white crystalline substance formed by the liver as a result of protein metabolism. It represents the main urea nitrogenous waste which is excreted by the kidneys in the urine. Urea is generally recognized as an essential constituent of urine, hence its name.
Although urea is primarily known as a bodily excretory substance, it also finds use in many industries due to its unique properties. In the cosmetic industry, urea is widely used for the production of various creams and lotions for the skin and hands. Due to its ability to retain moisture, it helps to hydrate and moisturize the skin. In medicine, urea is used in the form of creams and ointments to treat dry and cracked skin, but it is also a component of some drugs to reduce intracranial pressure. In agriculture, urea is used as a fertilizer that promotes plant growth by increasing the nitrogen content of the soil. In addition, it is also used in the automotive industry in the form of AdBlue, a liquid that helps reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines.
