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).

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

Stearyl Alcohol:
A body-identical fatty alcohol, it occurs as an intermediate in lipid metabolism and is also present in small amounts in the epidermis. It acts as a consistency regulator in emulsions.

Triethyl Citrate:
Citric acid triethyl ester. Inhibits the growth of sweat-decomposing bacteria, very skin-friendly, and found in many fruits.

Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate:
O/W emulsifier derived from glucose and fat, very skin-friendly and moisturizing.

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.

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.

Zinc Ricinoleate:
Zinc salt of ricinoleic acid; deodorant agent of plant origin.

Cetearyl Glucosides:
Plant-based emulsifier composed of body-identical fatty alcohols and body-identical glucose molecules.

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

Zinc PCA:
Zinc salt of pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid. Zinc inhibits the growth of microorganisms on the skin and, in deodorant products, contributes to the suppression of bacteria responsible for the development of sweat odor. Pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid is a natural component of the skin's own moisturizing factor and reduces transepidermal water loss.
