Is Octocrylene Natural?

Q: Is Octocrylene natural?

Octocrylene has a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 0.00 (scale 0–1) per ISO 16128. Octocrylene is synthesized from petrochemical feedstocks, resulting in a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 0.0. An NOI of 0.00 means 0% of its molecular mass is traceable to a natural, renewable source.
