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.
The degree of ethoxylation and propoxylation is an average, so the raw material is a mixture of molecules of different sizes.
