How we scored it
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 hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), harvested and extracted with water, ethanol or a cosmetic glycol. No synthetic route exists; any carrier solvent is a separate INCI entry.
In plain English
A skin-conditioning ingredient. It is a plant extract made from hemp agrimony (water hemp), a tall perennial of damp ground in the daisy family, extracted in a solvent.
