I'm fairly certain it's a base, not an acid, since the urea and uric acid break down into ammonia. Do you have more information? I'm not saying you're wrong about the effects, (if anything a base would be even worse) but I thought the caustic nature was why urine was traditionally used in leather tanning.

The PH of your urine can vary. Urine is also not sterile, so you are introducing waste products, bacteria, and salts directly into your skin holes. The urea concentration isn't especially high at 2%, compared with topical solutions that start at 5%. CeraVe and Eucarin both have a product with urea in them.

You are right, in that urea does break down into ammonia. So aged urine was used to tan hides, since the ammonia would break down the leftover fatty tissue/grease, and loosen all the hair and fibers.

So, since this is specifically aged urine that she's spraying on her scalp...
