How we scored it
Rice bran protein split into peptides/amino acids by acid, alkali or enzymes; 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 rice bran protein with acid, alkali or enzymes into a mixture of peptides and amino acids. The hydrolysis reagents used are not incorporated into the product.
In plain English
Protein from rice bran broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids by acid, alkali or enzymes. Used to condition hair and skin and reduce static.
CosIng definition: Protein hydrolyzates, rice bran. Substance obtained by acidic, alkaline, or enzymatic hydrolysis of rice bran composed primarily of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. It may contain impurities consisting chiefly of carbohydrates and lipids along with smaller quantities of miscellaneous organic substances of biological origin
