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.
See the EU regulation section for the applicable limits and conditions. The INCI name does not reveal whether it was isolated from sandalwood oil or produced otherwise, or the ratio of its isomers.
