I wish more products were this transparent about their contents.

But Mentha piperita and Citrus limonium are just latin names for peppermint and lemon....

Edit: and Foeniculum vulgare is the latin name for fennel

For products with no such list you can use https://cosmeticsinfo.org to find out more information on each ingredient.

After a bit you can then recognize the patterns of common ingredients (and their variations) that give products their basic structure and behavior like thickening agents, surfactants, PH stabilizers, etc
