How we scored it

Oleoyl (265) + SO3 (80) + 2Na (46) natural = 391; MIPA bridge plus maleic-derived succinate backbone C7H10NO4 (172, petrochemical) -> 391/564 = 0.69.
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

Made from oleic acid amidated with isopropanolamine (from propylene oxide), then esterified with sulfosuccinic acid derived from maleic anhydride, both petrochemical. A complex multi-step surfactant.

In plain English

A very mild, foam-boosting cleansing surfactant made from a vegetable-oil fatty acid combined with two small synthetic linker molecules. Used in baby shampoos and gentle cleansers.
