How we scored it
CosIng entry describes a whole fruit extract (NOI 1.0 by rule); the attached formula/IUPAC (C15H22O, a sesquiterpene aldehyde) looks mismatched to a single aroma component, not the bulk extract — description trusted 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
Citrus aurantium dulcis (sweet orange) whole fruit or peel is cold-pressed or solvent-extracted for this fragrance/skin-conditioning extract. The listed C15H22O formula appears to belong to a single terpenoid aroma molecule, not the extract itself.
In plain English
An extract of sweet orange fruit, valued for its citrus fragrance and skin-conditioning effect. Made by pressing or extracting the whole fruit or peel to capture its natural oils and aroma compounds.
CosIng definition: Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract is an extract of the fruit of the Sweet Orange, Citrus aurantium L. var. dulcis L., Rutaceae
