What the register lists it for
These are the uses the European Commission’s CosIng register lists for Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter in any cosmetic, hair roles first. They say why a maker might add it, not what it does in one formula, and they aren’t a safety rating.
- Skin conditioning
-
The register’s broad role for ingredients that keep skin in good condition. On a hair label it often sits beside a hair role, or marks a plant oil or extract.
Register definition: “Maintaining the skin in good condition.”
Where it sits on each label
US labels list ingredients from most to least, except that those at 1% or less may follow in any order. A name near the top is a large part of the formula. A label doesn’t mark where the 1% point falls, so further down, the order says little about how much is in it.
- Rinse-out conditioners 1 label First five names: 0 of 1 Rinse-out conditioners without it
- Leave-in conditioners 1 label First five names: 0 of 1 Leave-in conditioners without it
Every label, product by product (2)
- tgin Triple Moisture Replenishing Conditioner Rinse-out conditioner 14th of 33 names
- tgin Green Tea Super Moist Leave-In Conditioner Leave-in conditioner 17th of 34 names
Each line runs from the first name on a label to the last; a dot is where this ingredient sits. Makers change formulas now and then; if the list on your bottle differs, go by your bottle.
