How we scored it
CosIng description confirms an expressed vegetable seed oil (triglyceride); the linked formula/CAS (C92H110Cl10O18, 10 chlorines) is a mismatched PubChem record for an unrelated chlorinated compound and is rejected per instructions.
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
Cold-pressed or expressed from the seeds of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica). The attached formula/CAS data appears to belong to a different, chlorinated substance and was disregarded in favour of the CosIng description.
In plain English
A vegetable oil pressed from broccoli seeds, used to soften and condition skin and hair. It's a plant oil produced the same simple way as olive or sunflower oil.
CosIng definition: Brassica Oleracea Italica Seed Oil is the oil expressed from the seeds of the Broccoli, Brassica oleracea L. italica, Brassicaceae
