How we scored it
CosIng defines this as dried ground aloe leaves (botanical powder, =1.0); attached formula/iupac describe an unrelated nitro-aromatic compound, evidently a database mismatch, disregarded per description authority.
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
Produced by drying and grinding Aloe barbadensis leaves to a powder. No alternative synthetic route exists.
In plain English
