Often the names of herbal ingredients in certain cosmetics products are given by their scientific names like *Anthemis nobilis* instead of chamomile or *Lavandula angustifolia* instead of lavender. 

Is there any reason why this practice is followed? Wouldn't those who have allergies to certain plant materials be better off reading "coriander leaf extract" instead of scratching their heads over what "*Coriandrum sativum* leaf extract" is? Why put something more complex when something simpler would be more beneficial to the consumer?
