I'm new in labeling and been reading a lot about INCI I found confusing about the way we have to write the name in the label, for example:

lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil = lavender essential oil

Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil = castor oil

Do we have to write exactly like that? I mean like:

"Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil

or is it possible just to write "Ricinus communis seed oil"


Thank you for your help.


 
I always include the commonly used name along with the INCI name. If someone reads the ingredient label, they will more likely know the common name than the INCI term. I use the INCI terms to comply with Cosmetic Labeling Guide.
