I believe it was a derivative of urea, which gets used in a variety of surprising products.

I had no idea.

I get that. I sometimes react in the shower to strongly scented products, particularly for some reason, mango, even though I don't have a problem with the actual fruit.

A lot of commercial scents cause respiratory reactions in me; I assume it's some common chemical ingredient, but I don't know which one. I remember being amazed to discover BPAL, because I could actually wear their perfumes without giving myself a headache. I don't, really, but it's nice to know I have the option. It's certainly better than walking through clouds of strangers' perfume on the street and coming out wheezing.
