How we scored it
Pressed juice (n = 1): water, silica and other minerals, sugars and flavonoids all natural origin; no synthetic fragment. 1.0 / 1.0 = 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
Dominant route is mechanical pressing of fresh horsetail herb. No commercially significant synthetic route exists.
In plain English
Juice pressed from horsetail (Equisetum arvense), a primitive field plant, used to condition skin. It is mostly water carrying the plant's natural minerals (notably silica), sugars and flavonoids.
CosIng definition: Equisetum Arvense Juice is the juice expressed from Equisetum Arvense, Equisetaceae.
