How we scored it
Adenosine (fermentation nucleoside, natural) + phosphate (mineral, natural) = fully natural. 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
AMP is produced by fermentation or enzymatic phosphorylation of adenosine using mineral phosphoric acid, both natural-origin building blocks.
In plain English
Adenosine phosphate conditions and helps protect skin. It's made by adding a mineral phosphate group to a fermentation-derived nucleoside.
Structure
[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(6-aminopurin-9-yl)-3,4-dihydroxyoxolan-2-yl]methyl dihydrogen phosphate
