How to read this: the match percentage blends weighted ingredient-list overlap (INCI order roughly tracks concentration) with shared key actives. A high match means the formulas are genuinely similar, but it does not guarantee identical results. Concentration, pH, fragrance and texture still vary, so always patch test a new product.
