  • Cosmetic grade 99.8% vs normal grade 99.0% Urea for use in cosmetics

    Considering making a callous softener cream with say 40% urea. I see Makingcosmetics sell cosmetic grade for $30/500gram, otherwise you can get 99.0% for less than a third of that. Does it matter for topical cosmetic applications?

    Nope.  Buy and use the 99% and save money.
