How we scored it
Triglyceride oil: glycerol backbone plus oleic, palmitoleic and gadoleic fatty acids, all taken from the pressed nut oil; nothing added. 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 oil cold-pressed from the fruit (nut) of the Chilean hazelnut tree (Gevuina avellana). No synthetic route exists.
