How we scored it
Pressed juice (n = 1): water, sugars, carotenoids and minerals all plant-derived; no synthetic fragment. 1.0 / 1.0 = 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
Dominant route is mechanical pressing of fresh carrot roots. No commercially significant synthetic route exists.
In plain English
Juice pressed from fresh carrot root, used to condition skin. It is mostly water with carrot's natural sugars, carotenoids and minerals, and is made by crushing and pressing the roots with no chemical change.
CosIng definition: Daucus Sativa Juice is the liquid expressed from the fresh pulp of the carrot, Daucus carota L. var. sativa, Umbelliferae
