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.

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

Vegetable Oil:
Skin-identical base oil made from plant-based raw materials, also declared as Olus Oil.

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

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.

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!

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.

Lecithin:
Lecithin is an important component of all cell membranes. It can form liposomes. These liposomes can significantly increase the skin's moisture content, transport skin-friendly vitamins into the skin, and, due to their polyunsaturated fatty acid content, combat acne. Furthermore, lecithin acts as a natural emulsifier of plant origin and supports the skin's natural lipid barrier, smoothing and retaining moisture. Lecithin (and) D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (and) Retinyl Palmitate is the correct declaration for nanosomes loaded with natural vitamin E and vitamin A. Nanosomes can transport fat-soluble substances into the skin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
