How we scored it
Sweet cicely herb and root extract: every constituent is plant-derived (n=1); extraction solvent leaves no mass. 1.0 x 100% = 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
Dominant feedstock is the herb and root of Myrrhis odorata extracted with water or water-alcohol. No alternative route exists; any carrier solvent is declared as its own ingredient.
