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).

Lauryl Glucoside:
A very skin- and mucous membrane-compatible, glucose-based surfactant for shampoos and shower gels, derived from plant-based raw materials.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate:
Mild basic surfactant with intensive washing power, derived from coconut oil.

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.

Laureth-2:
Thickener in surfactant formulations, is obtained from short-chain fatty acids.

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

Glyceryl Oleate:
It is a component of sebum, a partially saponified fat, with skin-protecting and moisturizing properties, and acts as a re-fatting agent in cleansing products. It also serves as a consistency enhancer and emulsifier for lotions and creams.

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.

Ormenis Multicaulis Flower Oil:
Moroccan chamomile oil: Has anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and calming properties. Unlike German chamomile, no allergies are known.

Coco-Glucoside:
Mild sugar surfactant
