Values use typical maximums — actual levels vary by producer, harvest and distillation. Your supplier's GC/MS or IFRA certificate is the source of truth.

Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin) naturally contains 2 substances regulated under EU 2023/1545: Beta-Caryophyllene (typically 1–8%); Cinnamal (typically 0.1–1%). Exact values vary by harvest and producer — confirm with a GC/MS report or IFRA certificate.
The oil itself is declared under its INCI name (POGOSTEMON CABLIN OIL). Additionally, each regulated constituent that exceeds 0.100% (leave-on) or 1.00% (rinse-off) of the finished product must be listed separately — e.g. "linalool". Because many constituents run high, even small doses of Patchouli Oil usually trigger declarations.
It depends on the constituent with the highest typical level. For example, Beta-Caryophyllene, Patchouli Oil's most abundant regulated allergen (up to 8%), crosses the 0.001% leave-on threshold once the oil itself exceeds ~0.01% of the formula.
