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.

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil:
Macadamia nut oil: For the care of skin, hair and scalp, protects skin and hair from damage caused by sun exposure, protects against dryness of the skin and scalp, high content of palmitoleic acid, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins.

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.

Panthenol:
D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Improves and increases the skin's moisture retention, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and soothes or inhibits itching. It stimulates epithelialization, allowing minor wounds (such as shaving), abrasions, and blisters to heal more quickly. It also promotes skin regeneration and combats cracked and brittle skin. When used in hair care products, it is not only deposited on the hair and scalp but also penetrates them, providing long-lasting effects. Since pantothenic acid is an important component of healthy hair, scientific studies have shown that its precursor, D-Panthenol, acts as "food for the hair." It provides long-lasting moisture, improves manageability, reduces split ends, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens hair, and adds shine. It also reduces fingernail brittleness.

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate:
Emulsifier for oil-in-water systems with very good skin compatibility. Derived from glycerin, sugar, and fatty acids.

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.

Sorbitol:
Water-soluble glucoside with moisturizing properties, excellent skin and mucous membrane compatibility.

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 Ascorbyl Phosphate:
Highly effective antioxidant and vitamin C booster for the skinVitamin C is stored as a phosphate ester. It is a water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. It counteracts cell-damaging free radicals, protects unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation, and is essential for the formation of collagen and thus all connective tissue, as well as for the function of the immune system. Together with vitamin E, it is very effective in preventing the formation of nitrosamines.

Beta-Carotene:
Provitamin A: Fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties, counteracts photo-oxidative stress during sun exposure, cell-damaging free radicals, protects unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation, is skin-protecting and skin-regenerating.

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.

Tocopheryl Nicotinate:
Vitamin E ester of nicotinic acid. Converted to free vitamin E on the skin.

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract:
Chamomile extract, a plant-based healing and skin-soothing active ingredient

Salvia Officinalis Extract:
Sage extract: plant-based active ingredient with astringent and skin-tightening properties; promotes blood circulation.

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract:
Thyme extract. A plant-based active ingredient that combats hair loss, dandruff, and oily hair. Not to be confused with thymus extract of animal origin (Thymus Glands Extract)!

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".

Glycerin:
Body-identical, a component of the natural moisturizing factor and lipids/triglycerides. Improves skin hydration, influences the consistency and texture of cosmetic products, and has antimicrobial properties.
