How we scored it
Fermentation filtrate; fermentation products are 1.0 by this site's convention.
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
Produced by fermenting Epidermidibacterium keratini in a growth medium and filtering out the cells. No petrochemical synthesis is involved.
In plain English
A filtrate left over from growing a skin-friendly bacterium in culture, used to condition and soften skin. It is produced entirely by fermentation, not chemical synthesis.
CosIng definition: Epidermidibacterium Keratini Ferment Filtrate is a filtrate of the product obtained by the fermentation of a growth media by Epidermidibacterium keratini.
