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.
Whether an emollient suits a particular skin type depends on the whole formula; the INCI list cannot predict individual reactions.
