How we scored it
Juice expressed from purple coneflower flowers, leaves and stems: plant water, sugars and metabolites, all plant-derived. 1.00 x 100% = 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
