How we scored it
Dried ground seed powder; botanical powders = 1.0. Given formula/IUPAC (C26H52O2, a branched fatty alcohol) contradicts the cosing description and appears mismatched to a different substance; description trusted.
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 drying and grinding whole guarana (Paullinia cupana) seeds. The dataset's attached formula/CAS appears to belong to an unrelated compound and should be checked.
In plain English
Ground powder from dried guarana seeds, used in skincare to help condition the skin.
CosIng definition: Paullinia Cupana Seed Powder is the powder obtained from the dried, ground seeds of the Guarana, Paullinia cupana, Sapindaceae
