Limits of interpretation

The INCI list shows which ingredients are present, not how much of each. Above 1%, ingredients are listed in descending order of weight; below 1% the order is free.

Above set thresholds (0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products) it must be named on EU labels as a fragrance allergen; its presence does not mean the product will cause a reaction.
