The EU requires these 26 named above a threshold because they are known sensitisers. That is the whole of what the law asks for — not a full accounting of the oil. They are also constituents of essential oils. A whole botanical is listed here alongside them, so these are that oil’s constituents. Only these 26 have to be named, and only above a threshold — the rest of what is in the oil is not itemised by anyone.
A brand that formulates with whole essential oils has to name these constituents. One that keeps its blend behind the word “fragrance” does not have to explain it. A longer list here often means more disclosure, not more risk.
It is cagey not to list all of the ingredients. If it’s in the bottle it should be on the bottle.
