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 solvent extraction of tonka beans (Dipteryx odorata) from South American trees. No commercially significant synthetic route exists for the extract itself.

In plain English

An extract of tonka beans, the seeds of a South American tree, used to give a sweet, vanilla-like and hay-like scent to fragranced products. It is made by extracting the beans and comes entirely from the plant.
