Urine is rich in urea (uric acid) which is a common ingredient in most shampoos and skin creams (these days it is synthetic - not processed from urine).
In the 1920s these organic acid rinses were needed because the shampoos of the time were made from soaps rather than detergents.
Organic acid rinses also help tighten the cuticle on hair making it look smoother and more shiny.

Organic acids, also called carboxylic acids, comprise key intermediary compounds of many biochemical pathways as well as exogenous compounds.
The tricarboxylic acid, TCA cycle (also called the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle) in the mitochondrion, for example, comprised of nine organic acids and eight enzymes, is the central metabolic pathway for all fuel molecules; dietary carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
In these patients, urinary organic acid profiling reveals greatly elevated excretion of organic acid intermediates due to a block in a metabolic pathway; a block which may arise from a defective or missing enzyme required in the pathway in question.

 AllRefer.com - lactic acid (Organic Chemistry) - Encyclopedia
Lactic acid is produced commercially for use in pharmaceuticals and foods, in leather tanning and textile dyeing, and in making plastics, solvents, inks, and lacquers.
Chemically, lactic acid occurs as two optical isomers, a dextro and a levo form; only the levo form takes part in animal metabolism.
The lactic acid of commerce is usually an optically inactive racemic mixture of the two isomers.

 Organic Acid
Fulvic acid is an "organic" acid produced by soil microorganisms in trace amounts in healthy soils.
Because they produce fulvic acid, they are responsible for the conversion of inorganic minerals into organically complexed minerals that are beneficially used by plants and animals.

Most of the organic acids are compounds produced from normal metabolism.
When these chemicals are found in high concentration in the urine, it means that there is an overgrowth of these organisms in the intestines, their metabolic waste products are being absorbed into the bloodstream, stressing the liver, activating the immune system, circulating throughout the body, poisoning it, and then being eliminated in the urine.
Some of these microbial organic acids are structurally similar to the organic acids used by the body in cellular energy production.
