How we scored it
Steam-distillate water (n=1) plus trace plant volatiles (n=1); no synthetic fragment. 1.00 / 1.00 = 1.00.
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
Goji (Lycium chinense) fruit is steam-distilled and the condensed aqueous phase is collected. No synthetic route exists; any preservative added to the water is declared separately.
