Further explanations of the ingredients:

Aqua:
Water. It makes up approximately 65% of the human body's weight and is therefore of fundamental importance for bodily functions, including those of the skin. In many cosmetic products (aqueous solutions, cleaning agents, emulsions), water is the ingredient with the largest quantitative proportion in 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 pretreated to remove microorganisms that could lead to product spoilage or dissolved salts that could potentially impair the stability of emulsions or gels (sterilization and desalination).

Ethylhexyl Cocoate:
Well-spreading and non-greasy wax ester, made from coconut fat.

Butylene Glycol:
Solvent with moisturizing effect on the skin, very good tolerability, should be preferred to propylene glycol in daily used products

Urea:
Water-soluble urea is used in numerous cosmetic products. Urea is a component of the natural moisturizing factors of 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 the long-lasting moisturization of the skin and reduces transepidermal water loss. Urea has a keratoplastic effect, and in higher concentrations, a keratolytic effect, and is therefore also used to care for skin affected by psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis). Urea is also able to reduce the irritating potential of surfactants.

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

Ceteareth-20:
Emulsifier based on fatty alcohols.

Methyl Nicotinate:
Vitamin B3 derivative, has strong circulation-promoting properties on the skin in connection with skin redness, promotes metabolism, must not be applied to mucous membranes!

Coleus Forskohlii Extract:
Forskolin, active ingredient from Makandi, Indian medicinal plant, phytohormone, increases fat burning in the cells

Carbomer:
A neutral, highly skin-compatible polyacrylate-based gelling agent. Contrary to various claims, it does not contain "microplastics."

Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine:
Used to neutralize polyacrylate gel (carbomer), reacts alkaline in water.

Eucalyptus Globulus Oil:
Eucalyptus oil: Antispasmodic, wound-healing, and stimulating. Antiseptic, recommended for inhalation for respiratory diseases.

Limonene:
Fragrance, natural component of essential oils.
