Facial Cleansing
This mild cleansing emulsion is suitable specially to clean the eye area. It cleanses the skin exceptionally gently and the high concentration of nourishing ingredients such as skin-friendly oils, natural vitamin E and natural moisture dispensers care for the skin. As with all DR. BAUMANN products it is naturally free of mineral oil.

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.
Oleyl Erucate:
Liquid wax ester, main component of jojoba oil, obtained from plant raw materials, provides intensive protection for the skin with replenishing and skin-smoothing properties.
Butylene Glycol:
Solvent with moisturizing properties for the skin, very well tolerated, should be preferred to propylene glycol in products used daily.
Sucrose Stearate:
O/W emulsifier derived from cane sugar and fat, very skin-friendly, moisturizing.
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.
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
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.
Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate:
Emulsifier for oil-in-water systems with very good skin compatibility. Derived from glycerin, sugar, and fatty acids.
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.
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.
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.
Stearyl Alcohol:
A fatty alcohol identical to those found in the body, occurring as an intermediate in fat metabolism, also present in small amounts in the epidermis. A consistency enhancer in emulsions.
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate:
It is composed of body-identical fatty acids and the body-identical amino acid glutamic acid. Used as a surfactant, a very mild cleanser, it does not dry out the skin.
Xanthan Gum:
Polysaccharide, a natural gelling agent with very good skin-friendly properties, is obtained biotechnologically.
Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate:
It is composed of body-identical fatty acids and the body-identical amino acid glutamic acid. Used as a surfactant, a very mild cleaning agent.
