How we scored it
Named substance is plain orange fruit juice (1.0). Linked CosIng text actually describes a 5-fruit-juice 'Vesicles' complex; every component is still natural juice either way.
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
Pressed from Citrus sinensis fruit; the attached CosIng entry appears to describe a different multi-fruit vesicle product, but both are juice-derived and fully natural.
In plain English
Juice pressed from oranges, used as an antioxidant and skin conditioner. Note: the supplied description text actually referred to a different multi-fruit juice blend.
CosIng definition: (Vitis Vinifera Fruit Juice/Carica Papaya Fruit Juice/Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice/Citrus Sinensis Fruit Juice/Punica Granatum Fruit Juice) Vesicles are the vesicles isolated from a mixture of Vitis Vinifera Juice, Carica Papaya Fruit Juice, Citrus Reticulata Fruit Juice, Citrus Sinensis Fruit Juice, and Punica Granatum Fruit Juice
