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.

Its presence on the label means it is above the labelling threshold (0.001% leave-on, 0.01% rinse-off); it does not mean the product will cause a reaction.
