How we scored it

Ascorbic acid (glucose-derived, natural) sulfate monoester + 2 Na (mineral counter-ions). Sulfate/salt fragments natural. 1.0.
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

Disodium Ascorbyl Sulfate is made by sulfating fermentation-derived ascorbic acid and neutralising with sodium. Both the sulfate group and the sodium ion are mineral-derived, natural-origin fragments.

In plain English

A stable, water-soluble vitamin C derivative used as an antioxidant in skincare. It combines plant-sugar-derived vitamin C with mineral sulfate and sodium.
