Further explanations of the ingredients:

Aqua:
Water. It makes up approximately 65% ​​of the weight of the human body and is therefore essential for bodily functions, including those of the skin. In many cosmetic products (aqueous solutions, cleansers, emulsions), water is the ingredient with the largest proportion of the formulation and forms the basis of the aqueous phase in emulsions. Water is a good solvent for polar (hydrophilic) substances such as alcohols, water-soluble vitamins, or salts. For use in cosmetic products, the water used is generally pre-treated to remove microorganisms that could lead to product spoilage or dissolved salts that might impair the stability of emulsions or gels (sterilization and desalination).

Ethylhexyl Cocoate:
Identical to Octyl Cocoate. A highly spreading, non-greasy liquid wax ester, produced from coconut oil. Wide range of applications as a neutral base oil.

Dimethicone:
Synthetically produced silicone oil has a smoothing and waterproofing effect, can interfere with hair coloring, and is used in creams as a conditioning oil or defoamer; it is very well tolerated by the skin and, like natural oils, is breathable; it is difficult to biodegrade, but not environmentally harmful.

Butylene Glycol:
Solvent with moisturizing properties for the skin, very well tolerated, should be preferred to propylene glycol in products used daily.

Stearyl Dimethicone:
A nourishing oil, very well tolerated by the skin, non-occlusive. When used in shampoos, it forms a protective film on the hair. This makes the hair soft, shiny, and protects it from split ends and breakage.

Urea:
Water-soluble urea is used in numerous cosmetic products. Urea is a component of the natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum (content between 7% and 12%; up to half that in chronically dry skin) and has a high water-binding capacity. It contributes to sustained skin hydration and reduces transepidermal water loss. Urea has a keratoplastic effect, and at higher concentrations, a keratolytic effect, and is therefore also used in the care of skin affected by psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (eczema). Furthermore, urea is able to reduce the irritating potential of surfactants.

C18-36 Acid Triglyceride:
High-melting wax made from natural raw materials, consistency enhancer

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone:
Synthetic emulsifier for W/O creams, very good stabilizing properties in creams with vegetable oils, very good tolerability, difficult to biodegrade, but not environmentally harmful.

Sodium Lactate:
Sodium lactic acid: Has a moisturizing effect on the skin, with the physiological pH value of the skin of an average of 5.5. Important component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and acid mantle.

D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate:
Natural vitamin E acetate; storage form in the skin, converted into the active form by breaking the acetate bond; antioxidant with skin-protecting properties, e.g., against UV radiation, moisturizing, delays premature skin aging

Lactic Acid:
Lactic acid. Occurs as a metabolic product in the body and on the skin; in higher concentrations and at a low pH value of 2 to 3, it has an exfoliating effect on the stratum corneum; in buffered form (physiological pH value of the skin approx. 5.5), it supports the moisture content and preserves the skin's acid mantle.

Sodium Chloride:
Table salt: Supports the stability of W/O systems, consistency enhancer in surfactant formulations.
