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).
Ricinus Communis Oil:
Castor oil: Oil from the seeds of the castor bean plant, very well tolerated, penetrates the skin well.
Simmondsia Chinensis Oil:
Jojoba oil: A natural, liquid wax with excellent tolerability and outstanding protective and skin-nourishing properties. Creates a pleasant and velvety skin feel.
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.
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.
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil:
Eucalyptus oil: Antispasmodic, wound-healing, and stimulating. Antiseptic, recommended for inhalation in cases of respiratory illnesses.
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-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate:
W/O emulsifier, made from vegetable fats.
Zinc Ricinoleate:
Zinc salt of ricinoleic acid; deodorizing agent of plant origin.
Sodium Lactate:
Sodium salt of lactic acid (sodium lactate): 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 natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and the acid mantle of the skin.
C18-36 Acid Triglyceride:
High-melting wax made from natural raw materials, consistency enhancer
Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate:
Emulsifier for W/O emulsions, derived from the renewable, plant-based raw materials glycerin and fatty acids, very good skin 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.
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.
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.
Tribehenin:
Plant triglyceride with a waxy structure, consistency enhancer in stick formulations, thickener in creams, excipient in pressed powders.
Dimer Dilinoleyl/Dimethylcarbonate Copolymer:
Additive used to improve water resistance, e.g. in sunscreens.
Magnesium Sulfate:
Epsom salt, stabilizer in W/O formulations
Zinc Oxide (nano):
Zinc oxide, a natural mineral with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, also serves as a particularly skin-friendly sunscreen filter, effective in both the UVA and UVB ranges. Surface-treated zinc oxide (e.g., with triethoxycaprylylsilane) is often used to improve its application properties. It is sometimes used as a nanomaterial; contrary to some claims, nanoscale zinc oxide cannot penetrate the skin.
Limonene:
Fragrance, a natural component of essential oils.
