Latin Names?
This can cause a problem when common ingredients are not recognised. An example of this is arachis oil', which is the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) name for peanut oil. The only answer is for you to have a list with the Latin names of the ingredients that you must avoid and refer to this whenever buying products.
Ingredient (INCI Name)
Avocado (Persea gratissima)
Bitter Almond (Prunus amara)
Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa)
Coconut (Cocos nucifera)
Cod Liver Oil (Gadi iecur)
Egg (Ovum)
Hazel Nut (Corylus rostrata/americana/avellana)
Macadamia Nut (Macademia ternifolia)
Melo (Cucumis melo)
Milk (Lac)
Mixed Fish Oil (Piscum iecur)
Pea (Pisum sativum)
Peanut Oil (Arachis oil)
Sesame (Sesamum indicum)
Soya (Glycine soja)
Sweet Almond/Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis)
Walnut (Juglans regia/nigra)
