Assorted Fragrance Mini Gift Box (Velvet Petals & Pure Seduction)

Maximum retail price printed on the pack, in rupees. It is the manufacturer's ceiling, not what anyone sells at — most shops sell below it. Never filled when the listing showed 0 (out of stock) or for a retailer-made combo.

The date the MRP was read, as YYYY-MM-DD. Brands revise MRP, so the figure is only as current as this date.

Ingredients worth naming beyond the actives, such as ceramides or occlusives. Position in the full list indicates roughly how much is present when the list is in declared order.

Whether the ingredient list is in the required descending order of quantity. When it is, the position of an ingredient tells you roughly how much is present; when it is not, the list says only what is in the product, not how much.

Whether scent has been added. 'Unscented' can still contain a masking fragrance to hide a base smell, which is different from fragrance-free and matters for reactive skin.

Whether a dermatologist supervised a skin-tolerance test. It records that testing happened, not that the product passed any particular threshold, since the phrase has no legal definition in India.

Whether the formula avoids animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin or carmine. Separate from cruelty-free, which is about testing rather than contents.

Which body certifies the no-animal-testing claim, such as Leaping Bunny or PETA. An uncertified claim on the pack is self-declared.

Independent certifications the product carries, such as Ecocert or COSMOS. Unlike pack claims, these are audited against a published standard.

How many months the product stays good once opened, shown on the pack as a jar symbol with a number. It runs from first use and is usually much shorter than the unopened shelf life.

How long the product lasts unopened from manufacture. Read it with the period after opening, which takes over once the seal is broken.

Conditions the product needs to stay stable, such as away from sunlight. It matters most for vitamin C and retinoids, which degrade in light and heat.

The company legally responsible for the product in India, which is often not the maker. It is the entity to approach with a complaint, and it is required on the pack.

A link to the brand's own page for this exact product. It is the source a disputed fact here should be checked against, and it is where the full ingredient list is usually published.

Which revision of the brand's page these facts were read from, as a date. Brands reformulate without renaming, so this records which version was in front of us.
