How we scored it
Amino acids/peptides from hydrolysis of rice protein; hydrolysis reagents leave no mass; hydrolysed protein = 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
Produced by acidic, alkaline, or enzymatic hydrolysis of rice protein into amino acids and peptides. No petrochemical alternative route is used.
In plain English
A blend of amino acids from broken-down rice protein, used to condition hair and skin. It's made from rice grain, with the breakdown process leaving nothing but plant-derived mass.
CosIng definition: Protein hydrolyzates, rice. Substance obtained by acidic, alkaline, or enzymatic hydrolysis of rice composed primarily of amino acids, peptides, and proteins
