How we scored it
Water (n=1) plus volatile aroma compounds from steam-distilled citrus fruit (n=1); no petrochemical atoms in the final ingredient. 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
Citrus grandis fruit is steam-distilled and the aqueous distillate (a hydrosol) is collected, carrying traces of citrus terpenes. No alternative route is commercially significant; any preservative added to the commercial grade is declared separately.
In plain English
A lightly scented water collected when the fruit of Citrus grandis (listed in the EU database as grapefruit) is steam-distilled. It is used as a fragrance and skin-conditioning ingredient, and is made only of water and the fruit's own volatile aroma compounds.
CosIng definition: Citrus Grandis Fruit Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from the fruit of the Grapefruit, Citrus grandis, Rutaceae
