How we scored it
Hydrolysate of almond protein into peptides/amino acids; rate hydrolysed proteins 1.0, hydrolysis water not petroleum mass.
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 the protein of sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) kernels using acid, enzymes, or alkali into smaller peptides and free amino acids. Entirely plant-derived.
In plain English
Almond protein broken down into small peptides and amino acids. Leaves a light conditioning film on hair and skin and helps reduce static in hair care products.
CosIng definition: Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Protein is the hydrolysate of sweet almond protein derived by acid, enzyme or other method of hydrolysis of Prunu Amugdalus Dulcis protein, peptides and amino acids
