What's doing the work
How much is actually in here

Ingredients above 1% must be listed in order of weight; below that they can be listed in any order. Chlorphenesin sits at #18 and is used at well under 1%, so roughly everything after it is present in small amounts.

Nothing this product is marketed on falls below that line.

Why people buy it
