How we scored it
Pressed plant juice: water (n = 1) with dissolved sugars, minerals and plant metabolites (n = 1). No other atoms. 1.0 / 1.0 = 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.
Where it comes from
Dominant route is mechanical pressing of whole kale or collard-type plants (Brassica oleracea acephala), with filtering or preservation. No commercially significant alternative route exists.
In plain English
Juice pressed from whole kale or collard-type plants (Brassica oleracea acephala). It is mostly water with the plant's natural sugars, minerals and other plant compounds, and is listed as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient.
