- Well it was nice to finally meet each other after all of this time together
- Since my formula is CO(NH2)2, it is the sum of the mass of each of these elements: C+O+2(N)+4(H)
- You see, I am highly soluble in water, so it facilitates my transport to body fluids, I can also dissolve other solvents like salt or sugar. I am also synthesized in your liver and transported through you bloodstream to your kidneys to execute any nitrogenous waste you may have through your urine.
- Wow! So why are you in all my skin care products?
- This means you are a polar molecule, making you soluble in polar compounds
- I look like this!
- These ones in a pink circle are my amino groups
- Why do you look so weird?
- And what are those lines?
- So, how do you look like?
- This group surrounded by a purple circle is my carboxyl group

- Due to my properties, I serve as a moisturizer, exfoliator, skin barrier strengthener, or as an anti-inflammatory
- Urea
- What does that mean?
- Yes, that is correct!
