How we scored it
CosIng description names a kidney-bean solvent extract (botanical, 1.0). Attached formula/IUPAC (methylcyclohexenyl alcohol mixture) doesn't match bean chemistry; treated as a mismatched record per instructions and disregarded.
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 extracting kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) with a solvent for skin-, hair- and nail-conditioning use. The linked molecular formula appears to be a data mismatch for an unrelated compound and was disregarded.
In plain English
An extract made from kidney beans. It's used to condition skin, hair and nails. Comes directly from the bean, with no synthetic steps.
CosIng definition: Phaseolus Vulgaris Extract is an extract of the Kidney Bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., Leguminosae
