Production Of Hand Cream (Homemade)
Hi Everybody, my name is Francesco I'm 18 and I'm fascinated about Biochemistry And Chemisty in general.
I was reading on wikipedia that I can heal dry skin (like hands or other parts of the body) with urea , then i looked up and there really are Hand
Creams made with urea.
I was wondering: if I can isolate the urea from urine with the method i read on this blogs (I've been looking for it for quite a while), and i make a
solution 10% or 5% m/m how can i condense it into a cream? Help me out guys, thanks.
Sorry for my English but i'm italian and my country doesn't help at all with it.
I don't know if this if the right topic but i think so.

This is not Chemistry or Science really.

Perhaps you have not researched this at all.
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=2415
Edit:
If "Cooking Momma" makes useful Hand Cream, then she has a Working Process to create the Hand Cream.
If the same Hand Cream is made in a bio-reactor after 100 years of research by a team of 50 experienced biochemists, well it is still exactly the same
Hand Cream.
Just that they wasted 100 years seeing a working process was already known.
Is there specific chemical you wish you synthesise for your Hand Cream ?

Lmao, you are going get along great with all of the other smart asses on this forum. As per the first question at hand: can urea be isolated from
urine using methods well-published methods on the internet. Absolutely, no doubt. And for the second: how to condense 5-10% urea solution. Use
heavy oils or waxes you see in commercial hand cream, like shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter or aloe vera to emulsify the solution. The solution
can be made by using the M1V1=M2V2 or (moles)(volume)=(moles)(volume) equation. For a 5% solution, dissolve 5g of urea into 100g of water. For a 10%
solution, dissolve 10g into 100g of water, and so on.

Are you seriously suggesting that Game manufacturer sells a Game where people cook their mama ?

It's bad enough we have people still asking about how to make gunpowder from piss.
Now they want hand cream!
What's next? Breath spray?

I've made hand cream from urea (synthetic), it worked extremely well, wonderfully moisturising.

I once drank a dangerously large amount of beer in my youth.
The effect was incredibly moisturising, mostly to my trousers and the concrete i was sprawled on at the time.
So yes, urea compounds contained in urine can certainly moisten things very well indeed.
