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).
Ethylhexyl Cocoate:
Wax ester that spreads well and is non-greasy, made from coconut oil.
Dimethicone:
Silicone oil, synthetically produced, has a smoothing, impregnating effect, can impair hair coloring, used in creams as a care oil or as a defoamer; very well tolerated by the skin, is breathable like natural oils; poorly degradable, but not harmful to the environment
Butylene Glycol:
Solvent with moisturizing effect on the skin, very good compatibility, should be preferred to propylene glycol in products used daily
Stearyl Dimethicone:
Conditioning oil, very well tolerated by the skin, non-occlusive. Forms a protective film on the hair in shampoos. This makes the hair soft, shiny and protects it from split ends and breakage.
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.
Hydroxyoctacosanyl Hydroxystearate:
Very compatible vegetable wax as a consistency agent in W/O creams, component of beeswax
Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone:
Emulsifier for W/O emulsions.
Sodium Lactate:
Sodium salt of lactic acid: Has a moisturising effect on the skin, with the physiological pH value of the skin averaging 5.5. Important component of the natural moisturising factor (NMF) and the acid mantle of the skin.
D-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate:
Natural vitamin E acetate; storage form in the skin, is converted into the active form by dissolving the acetate bond; antioxidant with skin-protecting properties, e.g. against UV radiation, retains moisture, delays premature skin ageing
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.
Sodium Chloride:
Sodium chloride, common salt, serves as an excipient, gel stabiliser in surfactants, stabilises W/O creams
