    Incomplete ingredients list, unless one remote possibility: ultrasonic emulsification. Furthermore the preservative spec. is not really adequate. Unless perhaps there is a huge amount of glycerine in it. This looks like some kind of crap from ETSY.

    This ingredients list is from a US based company and this is not the first product that I have seen with missing information for other companies

    How are they able to do this? @belassi

    Yes I have also noticed obviously incomplete labels. By the way can you say which product this is?

    whoever has supplied them with the formula has either a) made a complete hash of compiling the list, or b) has tried to keep the exact formula secret, deliberately missed out key ingredients, and gambled on the fact unless they're cosmetic chemists, most people wouldn't notice that the list is incomplete

    it's not legal at all, but unfortunately it's very common practise

    also, I noticed there's apparently no wax, or fixative resin in it either
