How we scored it
Whole-plant extract per CosIng description = 1.0; attached PubChem formula (C68H42O8S8, a thioindigo-type structure) does not match a plant extract and is disregarded
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.
