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

Oleyl Erucate:
Liquid wax ester, main component of jojoba oil, obtained from plant raw materials, intensive protective effect for the skin with moisturizing and skin-smoothing properties.

Glyceryl Stearate:
Is a component of sebum, partially saponified fat, skin-protecting and moisture-retaining properties, consistency agent and auxiliary emulsifier for lotions and creams.

Ceteareth-20:
Emulsifier based on fatty alcohols.

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.

Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate:
Skin-identical excipient for regulating the pH value of cosmetic formulations.

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

Citric Acid:
Citric acid. A biotechnologically produced, body-identical active ingredient. It occurs in the metabolism of the human body and is also found in small concentrations on the skin. It protects the skin from oxidative stress, supports the antioxidant protection of the product, and regulates the pH of the product.

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