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).

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil:
Jojoba oil: A natural, liquid wax with excellent tolerability and outstanding protective and skin-nourishing properties. Creates a pleasant and velvety skin feel.

Oenothera Biennis Oil:
Evening primrose oil: One of the most valuable oils for skincare. With its high concentrations of the highly unsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, it combats dry, rough, and flaky skin. It moisturizes, soothes the skin, improves blood circulation, and helps prevent breakouts. In many people, the metabolic step from linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid is disrupted, which in extreme cases can lead to atopic dermatitis (eczema). Therefore, evening primrose oil is also very popular in naturopathy.

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.

Lecithin:
Lecithin is an important component of all cell membranes. It can form liposomes. These liposomes can significantly increase the skin's moisture content, transport skin-friendly vitamins into the skin, and, due to their polyunsaturated fatty acid content, combat acne. Furthermore, lecithin acts as a natural emulsifier of plant origin and supports the skin's natural lipid barrier, smoothing and retaining moisture. Lecithin (and) D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (and) Retinyl Palmitate is the correct declaration for nanosomes loaded with natural vitamin E and vitamin A. Nanosomes can transport fat-soluble substances into the skin.

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

Ceramide NP:
An important component of the epidermis, especially the upper cell layers; therefore a valuable skin-physiological component of skincare products.

D-Mixed Tocopherols:
This is the name given to a mixture of natural tocopherols (vitamin E; D-alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherol). Vitamin E is the most important skin-protecting vitamin, shielding the skin from UV rays and free radicals.

Retinyl Palmitate:
It is the storage form of vitamin A, which is converted into free vitamin A in the skin. It stimulates cell division and therefore has a strong regenerative effect, especially on prematurely aged skin and with prolonged use. Studies have even demonstrated an increase in the skin's collagen content, a slight reduction in wrinkles, and an increase in skin elasticity.

Sodium Hyaluronate:
Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A natural moisturizer with skin-smoothing properties, an important natural component of the lower layers of the skin (dermis). Formerly extracted from rooster combs, it is now produced biotechnologically in improved quality.

Allantoin:
Allantoin is a naturally occurring, water-soluble substance chemically related to urea. It is found in various plants, but for cosmetic use, it is now produced synthetically. Its most important property is the stimulation of cell regeneration. It promotes collagen production, skin regeneration and wound healing, stimulates desquamation, smooths the skin, and can have a soothing effect on atopic dermatitis.

Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine:
Used to neutralize polyacrylate gel (carbomer), it reacts alkaline in water.

Carbomer:
Neutral, very skin-friendly gelling agent based on polyacrylate. Contrary to various claims, it does not contain "microplastics".

Alcohol:
Ethyl alcohol: Biocompatible. Has a refreshing and antibacterial effect. Also serves as a solvent for other ingredients. Contrary to other claims, there is no risk of a drying effect on the skin at normal concentrations!
