How we scored it
Attached formula/CAS/IUPAC (C16H13NO3, a nitro-chalcone fragrance compound) contradict the cosing_description and belong to a different substance; disregarded per instructions. Aqueous steam distillate of aloe leaves → 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
Steam distillate water from Aloe barbadensis leaves. The batch record's formula/CAS/IUPAC fields appear to belong to an unrelated fragrance compound and were disregarded.
In plain English
Water collected from steam-distilling aloe vera leaves. Note: the source data attached the wrong chemical formula to this ingredient — the description confirms it is plain aloe water.
CosIng definition: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from the leaves of the aloe, Aloe barbadensis, Liliaceae
