How we scored it
Filtrate of Chlorella alga fermentation: algal and microbial material only. 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 fermentation of Chlorella biomass or culture followed by filtration. No other route is relevant.
In plain English
The liquid left after Chlorella, a single-celled green alga, is fermented and the solids are filtered out. It is used as a skin-protecting ingredient. It comes entirely from alga-based fermentation.
CosIng definition: Chlorella Ferment Filtrate is the filtrate of the product obtained through the fermentation of the alga, Chlorella.
