How we scored it
Hydrolysate of royal jelly proteins via acid, enzyme or other hydrolysis; resulting amino acids/peptides remain fully bee-derived -> 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 hydrolysing the proteins naturally present in bee royal jelly using acid, enzymes or another hydrolysis method. The resulting peptides and amino acids remain entirely royal-jelly derived.
In plain English
Proteins from bee royal jelly broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids by acid, enzymes or another hydrolysis method. Used as a skin-conditioning agent, helping moisturise and soften skin in creams and serums.
CosIng definition: Hydrolyzed Royal Jelly Protein is the hydrolysate of the proteins obtained from Royal Jellly derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis
