How we scored it
Dried, ground flowers: whole plant material, all mass plant-derived, so 1.0. No synthetic fragments.
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
Cultivated Roman chamomile flowers (Chamaemelum nobile, formerly Anthemis nobilis) are dried and ground. No synthetic route exists for this plant material.
In plain English
Powder made from dried, ground flowers of Roman chamomile, used as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is plant material that has only been dried and milled, so it comes directly from the chamomile plant.
CosIng definition: Anthemis Nobilis Flower Powder is the powder obtained from the ground flowers of the Roman Chamomile, Anthemis nobilis L., Compositae
