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.

Silicones differ widely in volatility and feel; the INCI name alone does not show how heavy the finished product will feel.

Suppressing foam during manufacturing or reducing the tendency of finished products to generate foam.
