Based on the ingredients listed, a product containing these substances, even in specific amounts, cannot be claimed as 100% natural.

Several of the ingredients are synthetic or have undergone chemical processing that excludes them from a "100% natural" classification. These include:

Phenoxyethanol and Phenoxyethanol SA: These are synthetic preservatives.
Polysorbate 20: This is a synthetic emulsifier produced through ethoxylation.
Benzalkonium Chloride: This is a synthetic quaternary ammonium compound used as a preservative and antiseptic.
Oilsify 30 (Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate): While derived from natural sources, it is chemically modified through ethoxylation, making it non-natural.
Mineral Oil: This is a petroleum-derived ingredient, which is not considered natural.
LipidSoft™ Palm (Ethylhexyl palmitate): This is an ester produced through a chemical reaction (esterification) between an alcohol and a fatty acid.

Although Hydrogenated Castor Oil is derived from a natural source (castor oil), the hydrogenation process is a chemical modification, which typically means it is not considered 100% natural depending on the specific natural standard being followed.

Therefore, the presence of these ingredients makes a 100% natural claim inaccurate.
