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.

Petitgrain Oil (Citrus aurantium) naturally contains 4 substances regulated under EU 2023/1545: Linalool (typically 15–30%); Limonene (typically 5–15%); Geraniol (typically 1–5%); Citral (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 (CITRUS AURANTIUM AMARA LEAF/TWIG 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 Petitgrain Oil usually trigger declarations.
It depends on the constituent with the highest typical level. For example, Linalool, Petitgrain Oil's most abundant regulated allergen (up to 30%), crosses the 0.001% leave-on threshold once the oil itself exceeds ~0.00% of the formula.
