How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 19 of 71 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Acai Berry Spritz; Argan Oil Repairing Hair Oil; Calm Conditioner Lavender to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Linalool itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Hair-conditioner supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
19 of 71 linked records have some flagged component
All 54 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
What else is usually in the same product as Linalool
Across the 71 products on this site that list Linalool, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. BHT shows up about 7.7x more often with Linalool than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Linalool products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| BHT | 6 | 8.5% | 1.1% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 5 | 7% | 2.1% |
| Blue 1 | 5 | 7% | 4.2% |
