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).

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice:
Aloe vera gel, herbal active ingredient, healing, moisturizing, regenerating

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

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.

Panthenol:
D-panthenol = provitamin B5: Improves and increases the skin's ability to retain moisture, has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces or inhibits itching. Stimulation of epithelialization: Small wounds (shaving), skin abrasions, blisters heal better. When used in hair care products, it is not only deposited on the hair and scalp, it also penetrates them and has a long-term effect. As pantothenic acid is an important component of healthy hair, the precursor D-panthenol serves as “food for the hair” according to scientific studies. It provides the hair with long-lasting moisture, improves the combability of the hair, reduces the formation of split ends, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens the hair and gives it shine. The brittleness of fingernails is reduced.

Citric Acid:
Citric acid. Biotechnologically produced body-identical active ingredient. Occurs in the metabolism of the human organism and can also be found in low concentrations on the skin. It protects the skin from oxidative stress, supports the product protection of the antioxidants and regulates the pH value of the product.

Polysorbate 20:
Emulsifier for O/W systems, solubilizer, is obtained from sorbitol.

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

Sorbitol:
Water-soluble glucoside with moisturising properties, excellent skin and mucous membrane compatibility.

Satureja Hortensis Oil (and) Ormenis Multicaulis Flower Oil (and) Cypressum Sempervirens Oil (and) Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil (and) Cananga Odorata Flower Oil (and) Santalum Album Wood Oil (and) Aniba Rosaeodora Wood Oil (and) Rosmarinus Officinalis Flower Oil (and) Citrus Aurantium Flower Oil:
Also: Saurejae montanae, savoury oil, antispasmodic, relaxing

Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine:
Used to neutralise polyacrylate gel (carbomer), reacts alkaline in water.

Carbomer:
Neutral, polyacrylate-based gelling agent that is very well tolerated by the skin. Contrary to various claims, no “microplastics”.

CI 75810:
Chlorophyll = leaf green, plant pigment as copper chlorophyll, with a weak deodorizing effect
