How we scored it
Plant juice (CosIng also calls it an extract): 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 broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), with filtering or preservation. If made by solvent extraction instead, the product is still entirely plant-derived.
In plain English
Juice from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). 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.
CosIng definition: Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Juice is the extract of Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli); Brassicaceae.
