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.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter:
Shea butter: Fat from the seeds of the Butyrospermum parkii plant. It is particularly suitable for the care of dry skin and skin damaged, for example, by sun exposure. The skin becomes softer, and protection against dehydration and UV radiation is built up.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil:
Jojoba oil: A natural, liquid wax with excellent tolerability and outstanding protective and skin-nourishing properties. Creates a pleasant and velvety skin feel.

Dihydroxyacetone:
It is an intermediate product in carbohydrate metabolism in the human body. It reacts with the keratin in the outermost layer of skin to form a brown pigment, thereby producing a natural-looking tan.

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

Alcohol:
Ethyl alcohol: Biocompatible. Has a refreshing and antibacterial effect. Also serves as a solvent for other ingredients. Contrary to other claims, there is no risk of a drying effect on the skin at normal concentrations!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Sodium Hydroxide:
Sodium hydroxide. Used to adjust the pH of cosmetic products. Sodium and hydroxide ions are identical to those found in the body.

Magnesium Stearate:
Magnesium salt of stearic acid. Filler in powders, improves lubrication and adhesion.

Sodium Metabisulfite:
Sodium disulfite serves as an antioxidant and stabilizer, e.g. in self-tanning products.
