How we scored it
Dried, ground plant powder; CosIng text cites stem source despite the fruit-powder name, but it remains wholly botanical material.
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

In plain English
