How we scored it
Aqueous steam distillate: water (n = 1 by rule) plus trace plant volatiles (n = 1). 1.0 / 1.0 = 1.0.
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
Made by steam-distilling feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium) flowers, leaves and stems and collecting the water phase that condenses with any essential oil. No other route is commercially significant.
In plain English
