How we scored it

Rosin acids (pine resin, natural) esterified with glycerin (natural) -> ester built entirely from natural building blocks = 1.0.
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

Made by esterifying pine-tree rosin (colophony) with vegetable glycerin. Fully oleochemical/natural-resin process; no petrochemical alternative in commercial use.

In plain English

A film-forming and fragrance ingredient made from pine tree resin (rosin) combined with glycerin. Helps formulas form a thin, flexible film.
