How we scored it

Coconut oil (natural triglyceride) with double bonds saturated by hydrogen gas; H2 is a reagent leaving no counted petroleum mass. 100% natural.
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 catalytically hydrogenating natural coconut oil to saturate its double bonds, improving oxidative stability. No petrochemical feedstock is incorporated.

In plain English

A solid, stable emollient made by hardening coconut oil through hydrogenation. It conditions and softens skin and hair, and remains fully plant-derived.

CosIng definition: Coconut oil, hydrogenated
