How we scored it
Whole-plant extract: every atom comes from plant material; extraction solvent leaves no mass. Natural mass fraction 1/1 = 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 feedstock is the harvested whole plant of field eryngo (Eryngium campestre), extracted with water, ethanol or a cosmetic glycol. No synthetic route exists; any glycol carrier is a separate INCI entry and is not scored here.
In plain English
A skin- and hair-conditioning ingredient. It is a plant extract made by soaking the whole field eryngo plant, a spiny herb of the carrot family found in Europe and western Asia, in a solvent and collecting the dissolved plant compounds.
CosIng definition: Eryngium Campestre Extract is the extract of the whole plant, Eryngium campestre L., Apiaceae
