How we scored it

Dichlorinated indanthrone vat dye; entirely petrochemical construction plus chlorination; no natural fragment → 0.0.
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

CI 69825 is a synthetic chlorinated indanthrone dye manufactured from petrochemical anthraquinone via chlorination. No natural production route exists.
