How we scored it
Hydrolysate of jojoba wax esters, built only from natural jojoba-oil building blocks; hydrolysis water is not petroleum 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.
Where it comes from
Made by acid, enzyme or other hydrolysis of Jojoba Esters (jojoba seed oil). Every resulting fragment originates from the jojoba plant.
