How we scored it
Potato protein split into peptides/amino acids by acid, enzyme or other hydrolysis; hydrolysis reagents leave 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.
Where it comes from
Made by hydrolyzing potato protein with acid, enzymes or other methods into a mixture of peptides and amino acids. The reagents used to hydrolyze the protein are not incorporated into the final ingredient.
In plain English
Potato protein broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids by acid, enzyme or other hydrolysis. Used to condition hair and skin and reduce static.
CosIng definition: Hydrolyzed Potato Protein is the hydrolysate of potato protein derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis
