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

Simmondsia Chinensis Oil:
Jojoba oil: A natural, liquid wax with excellent skin tolerance and excellent protective and skin-conditioning properties. It creates a pleasant, velvety skin feel.

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.

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.

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

Palmitic Acid (and) Stearic Acid:
A mixture of palmitic and stearic acid. Skin-identical lipids; skin conditioning and consistency-regulating in cosmetic products.

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

Sodium Lactate:
Sodium lactic acid salt: Has a moisturizing effect on the skin, with the skin's physiological pH value averaging 5.5. An important component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and its 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

D-mixed tocopherols:
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, protecting the skin from UV rays and oxygen radicals.

Allantoin:
Allantoin is a body-identical, water-soluble substance and chemically related to urea. It occurs in various plants but is now synthetically produced for use in cosmetics. Its most important property is the stimulation of cell regeneration. It promotes collagen formation, skin regeneration, and wound healing, stimulates desquamation, smoothes the skin, and can have a soothing effect on atopic dermatitis.

Picea Abies Leaf Oil:
Pine needle essential oil, anti-inflammatory.

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

Limonene:
Fragrance, natural component of essential oils.
