Labeling Notes
- On cosmetic ingredient lists, use the INCI name exactly as shown — do not translate or abbreviate it
- Linalool (natural component, 70-89%) must be declared separately on EU labels once the finished-product threshold is passed (leave-on > 0.001%)
- For flavour use in the US, reference FEMA 3950 on the specification sheet
- Methyl eugenol (~0.25%) is a naturally occurring trace constituent — no separate label line is required outside allergen frameworks, but IFRA documentation should mention it
- We print the INCI name, CAS and batch number on every label, with bilingual Chinese-English options for export
