How we scored it
Essential oil: terpenes and other volatile constituents are all natural, isolated from the plant, none synthesised: 1.00.
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.
