What's wrong with Urea?

I'm puzzled, as I have always assumed urea to be safe, effective and multifunctional. Yet, recently I have red a couple of comments advising to avoid urea. What's the problem with it? What are it's advantages? What products do you use containing urea?

if I remember correctly I heard it was made from animal urine? or I might be thinking of allantoin. I recall reading it on a list of skincare ingredients to avoid if you are vegan

Dr Dray on YouTube has a few videos regarding urea. I think worth looking into, if thr ingredient is right for you or not
