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).

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides:
Neutral vegetable oil (triglyceride) with short-chain fatty acids. Has moisturizing properties.

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

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-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate:
W/O emulsifier, made from vegetable fats.

C18-36 Acid Triglycerides:
High-melting wax made from natural raw materials, consistency agent

Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate:
Emulsifier for W/O emulsions, is obtained from the renewable, plant-based raw materials glycerin and fatty acids, very good skin compatibility

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.

Tribehenin:
Vegetable triglyceride with a waxy structure, consistency agent in stick formulations, thickener in creams, excipient in pressed powders.

Magnesium Sulfate:
Epsom salt, stabilizer in W/O formulations
