How we scored it
Description = fruit extract (1.0); supplied formula/IUPAC (halogenated amino-ester, MW 406.7) is an unrelated compound contradicting the CosIng description, so it was ignored.
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
Extract of Garcinia cambogia fruit, valued for skin conditioning. The attached formula/CAS data appear to reference a different, unrelated compound and were disregarded per instructions.
In plain English
A skin-conditioning extract from the tamarind-like Garcinia cambogia fruit. Note: the database record's chemical formula looked mismatched, so scoring relies on the plant-extract description instead.
CosIng definition: Garcinia Cambogia Fruit Extract is an extract of the fruit of the Gamboge Tree, Garcinia cambogia, Guttiferae
