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).

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.

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

Salvia Officinalis Extract:
Sage extract: Has an astringent effect and stimulates blood circulation.

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.

Humulus Lupulus Extract:
Hop extract: Herbal active ingredient, firming, strengthening, toning and circulation-promoting, contains phytoestrogens.

Xanthan Gum:
Polysaccharide, natural gelling agent with very good skin-compatible properties, is obtained biotechnologically.

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”.
