I was stuck in traffic and was bored so I starting reading the ingredients on my moisterizer and it had urea in it (pee), YIKES?!. Is that normal and if so, does it make your skin softer or something? (This is a St. Ives moisterizer)

Urea is not urine. For chemical purposes, it's manufactured.
Urea causes something called "hydrotopic solubilization" which enables cells to absorb moisture more easily.

Do you know what else is in your products? Mineral Oil ( Crude Oil) Lanolin ( Sheep's sweat) and yes sometime pee. all these these things are nicely covered up by a fragrance. Even the high end Dept Store brands. Arbonne is certified Vegan! and has pure ingredients where they do not need to hide the smell. It is botanically based with no fragrances added. Incredible products that offer incredible results

Urea has a helpful acid in it to help the skin. Its just like when u take a baby's urinated diaper and pat it over your face...its low in acid.

the effort-free %. for many could be Rondo, after seeing his overall performance first hand on the vast point in this years ECF. although, i might take a healthful Chris Paul. And why do human beings act like Paul would not play protection? He became All-protecting 1st team this year.

Urea is not pee. its a chemical found in pee. it is probably in there because of the protein it is made of.

You know, that is just disgusting. It is amazing to me what companies will put into our products. I don't care if it does help "hydrate" my skin, I don't want a byproduct of waste on my body and being reabsorbed back into me.

It's VERY common. FYI, it's probably in your lipstick, shampoo and face cream, as well. It helps you rehydrate!
Most of what's used commercially is created commercially, by combining ingredients in a factory...not by straining urine.

Ever heard of "animal byproducts?" Look it up on the internet and then look at all your makeup, lotions, etc. and see if they contain them. If they do then I would throw them away!
