How we scored it
Hydrolysate of sesame seed protein; peptide and amino-acid fragments trace fully to sesame plant protein. All atoms natural. 1.0 by category rule.
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 hydrolysing protein extracted from sesame seeds using acid, enzymes, or another hydrolysis method into smaller peptides and amino acids. No alternative synthetic route is used commercially.
In plain English
A conditioning ingredient made by breaking down sesame seed protein into smaller pieces called peptides and amino acids. It's used in shampoos and skin products to help hair and skin feel smoother.
