    Maybe just my weak mind…. but I have no idea what you are asking? Can you rephrase?

    In the USA… We have the FDA… that gives guidelines on INCI format….and is supposed to reign in false claims. ???? Trust me…..creative liberties are still rampant, and the ‘use it till you get caught’ theory is the rule among small companies and mommy bloggers. Ignorance is the best defence….right? ????

      I remember that @Perry44 said that till level superior or equal to 1 ingredients must listed by decreasing level then it doesn’t matter.

        Yes….anything above 1% inclusion rate must be listed in descending order. Below 1% anything goes….and does go…in the name of formula protection.

        I consider INCI contstruction….the 2nd most entertaining portion of the process…. listing the ingredients in a plausible, but completely different order….to keep the copy-cats at bay….and guessing.

        Most of the beginners have no idea….and think reading an INCI is descending order….start to finish. ???? Makes them so interesting…..when you read their synopsis of products.

    The FDA has guidance on their website about cosmetic labeling

    Since I formulate in the US…. many of my ingredients are included at rates of 1% or .99%. This is due to where I want them to fall on the INCI.
