How we scored it
Extract of cultured rice plant cells; treated as a botanical extract = 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
Produced by growing rice (Oryza sativa) callus cells in a lab/bioreactor culture, then extracting the cell biomass. No petrochemical alternative, though growth-medium nutrients are not part of the extract's own mass.
In plain English
An extract from lab-cultured rice plant cells, used to help condition skin. Made by growing rice cells in culture and extracting compounds from them, rather than harvesting whole rice plants.
CosIng definition: Oryza Sativa Callus Culture Extract is the extract of a culture of the callus cells of the rice, Oryza sativa
