Further explanations of the ingredients:

Aqua:
Water. It accounts for around 65% of the weight of the human body and is therefore of fundamental importance for bodily functions, including those of the skin. In many cosmetic products (aqueous solutions, cleansers, emulsions), water is the ingredient with the largest proportion of the formulation in terms of quantity 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 pre-treated to remove microorganisms that could lead to spoilage of the product or dissolved salts that may impair the stability of emulsions or gels (sterilization and desalination).

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (and) Lauryl Glucoside:
Mild basic surfactant with intensive washing power, obtained from coconut oil.

Urea:
The water-soluble urea is used in numerous cosmetic products. Urea is a component of the natural moisturising factors of the horny layer (content between 7 % and 12 %; up to half lower in chronically dry skin) and has a high water-binding capacity. It contributes to sustained moisturisation of the skin and reduces transepidermal water loss. Urea has a keratoplastic effect, in higher concentrations it has a keratolytic effect and is therefore also used in the care of skin affected by psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis). Urea is also able to reduce the irritating potential of surfactants.

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

Laureth-2:
Thickener in surfactant formulations, is obtained from short-chain fatty acids.

Coco-Glucoside (and) Glyceryl Oleate:
Mixture of lipid-replenishing substances for skin care in cleansing preparations.

Sucrose Cocoate:
Mild, non-ionic surfactant with moisturising properties, obtained from cane sugar and fat, which improves the compatibility of other surfactants.

Sodium Chloride:
Sodium chloride, common salt, serves as an excipient, gel stabiliser in surfactants, stabilises W/O creams

Lactic Acid:
Lactic acid. Occurs as a metabolic product in the body and on the skin, has a peeling effect on the horny layer in higher concentrations and at a low pH value of 2 to 3, supports the moisture content in buffered form (physiological pH value of the skin approx. 5.5) and preserves the skin's protective acid mantle.
