Is Adenosine Triphosphate natural?

Yes. Both the nucleoside core and the phosphate groups trace to natural/mineral feedstocks; no petrochemical fragment.

FeedstockATP is produced by fermentation or enzymatic phosphorylation…

How we scored it

Adenosine (fermentation nucleoside, natural) + triphosphate (mineral phosphate, 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

ATP is produced by fermentation or enzymatic phosphorylation of adenosine using mineral phosphoric acid. Both building blocks are natural origin.

In plain English

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the cell's energy molecule, used here to condition skin. It's made by adding mineral phosphate groups to a fermentation-derived nucleoside.
