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).

Isopropyl Alcohol:
Isopropanol: Has a disinfecting effect like ethanol, but unlike ethanol, it also dissolves natural fats.

Alcohol:
Ethyl alcohol: Body-identical. Refreshing and antibacterial. Also acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Contrary to claims, there is no risk of a drying effect on the skin at normal use concentrations!

Panthenol:
D-Panthenol = Provitamin B5: Improves and increases the skin's moisture retention, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and itching is reduced or inhibited. Stimulation of epithelialization: Minor wounds (shaving), skin abrasions, and blisters heal more effectively. When used in hair care products, it is not only deposited on the hair and scalp, but also penetrates them, providing long-lasting benefits. Since pantothenic acid is an important component of healthy hair, scientific studies show that the precursor D-panthenol serves as "food for the hair." It provides long-lasting moisture, improves combability, reduces split ends, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens hair, and adds shine. It reduces the brittleness of fingernails.

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

Lactic Acid:
Lactic acid. Occurs as a metabolic product in the body and on the skin. In higher concentrations and at a low pH of 2 to 3, it has an exfoliating effect on the stratum corneum. In buffered form (physiological pH of the skin is approximately 5.5), it supports moisture content and preserves the skin's protective acid mantle.

D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate:
Natural vitamin E acetate; stored in the skin, converted into the active form by breaking down the acetate bond; antioxidant with skin-protecting properties, e.g., against UV radiation, moisture-preserving, delays premature skin aging

Biotin:
Vitamin H, important for the normal function of skin and hair

myo-Inositol:
A sugar-like growth hormone widely found in the plant and animal kingdoms, it is part of the vitamin B complex. Myo-inositol deficiency is associated with hair loss.

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract (and) Glycerin:
Herbal active ingredient, effective against hair loss, dandruff and oily hair, not to be confused with thymus of animal origin (Thymus Glands Extract)!

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside:
An anionic surfactant and solubilizer; made from fatty alcohols and glucose of plant origin.

Polysorbate 20:
Emulsifier for O/W systems, solubilizer, is obtained from sorbitol.

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