How we scored it
Fermentation filtrate of a bacterial culture: all mass is microbial metabolites and nutrient-broth components; counted as 1.0 by the fermentation rule.
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
Dominant route: submerged culture of Aquaphilus dolomiae in a nutrient medium, followed by filtration to remove cells. No alternative route is known.
In plain English
A liquid made by growing the bacterium Aquaphilus dolomiae in a nutrient medium and filtering out the cells. It is used to condition and protect skin. It contains whatever the bacteria released into the medium.
CosIng definition: Aquaphilus Dolomiae Ferment Filtrate is a filtrate of the product obtained by the fermentation of the growth media by the microorganism, Aquaphilus dolomiae.
