Is Isononyl Isononanoate Natural?

Q: Is Isononyl Isononanoate natural?

Isononyl Isononanoate has a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 0.00 (scale 0–1) per ISO 16128. Isononyl Isononanoate is synthesized from isononanoic acid and isononanol, both of which are derived from petrochemical feedstocks, resulting in a 0.0 NOI value. An NOI of 0.00 means 0% of its molecular mass is traceable to a natural, renewable source.
