How we scored it
Protein from Lupinus albus seed; an amino-acid polymer from plant material; = 1.0; no petrochemical fragment.
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
Dominant route: extraction of protein from dehulled lupin seed meal, often supplied as a hydrolysate. No alternative route is commercially significant.
In plain English
A protein obtained from the seeds of the white lupin, used to condition skin. It comes straight from the plant, extracted and purified from lupin seed.
CosIng definition: Lupinus Albus Protein is derived from the seeds of the White Lupin, Lupinus albus L., Leguminosae
