How we scored it
Hydrolysate of Centella asiatica plant protein; hydrolysates are natural origin; acid or enzyme used leaves no mass: 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.
