Ingredients (INCI declaration of the ingredients):

Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Urea, Lecithin, D-mixed-Tocopherols, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine, Carbomer, Alcohol

Further explanations of the ingredients:

Aqua:
Water. It accounts for around 65% of the weight of the human body and is therefore of fundamental importance 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 in terms of quantity 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 spoilage of the product or dissolved salts that may impair the stability of emulsions or gels (sterilization and desalination).

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride:
Vegetable neutral oil (triglyceride) with short-chain fatty acids. Has moisturizing properties.

Butylene Glycol:
Solvent with moisturizing effect on the skin, very good compatibility, should be preferred to propylene glycol in products used daily

Urea:
The water-soluble urea is used in numerous cosmetic products. Urea is a component of the natural moisturising factors of the horny layer (content between 7 % and 12 %; up to half lower in chronically dry skin) and has a high water-binding capacity. It contributes to sustained moisturisation of the skin and reduces transepidermal water loss. Urea has a keratoplastic effect, in higher concentrations it has a keratolytic effect and is therefore also used in the care of skin affected by psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis). Urea is also able to reduce the irritating potential of surfactants.

Lecithin:
Is an important component of all cell membranes. Lecithin can form liposomes. These are able to increase the skin's moisture content enormously, transport skin-friendly vitamins into the skin and have an anti-acne effect due to their content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, lecithin serves as a natural emulsifier of plant origin and supports the effect of the skin's natural lipid protective layer, smoothing and preserving moisture.Lecithin (and) D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (and) Retinyl Palmitate is the correct declaration for nanosomes that are loaded with natural vitamin E and vitamin A. Nanosomes can transport fat-soluble substances into the skin.

D-mixed-Tocopherols:
Is the name of a mixture of natural tocopherols (vitamin E; D-alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol). Vitamin E is the most important skin protection vitamin, which protects the skin from UV rays and oxygen radicals.

Sodium Hyaluronate:
Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. Natural moisturiser with skin-smoothing properties, important natural component of the lower skin layers (dermis). Formerly produced from rooster combs, now produced in better quality by biotechnology.

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

Carbomer:
Neutral, polyacrylate-based gelling agent that is very well tolerated by the skin. Contrary to various claims, no “microplastics”.

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