How we scored it
Cold-pressed seed oil; vegetable oil convention = 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
Cold-pressed or expeller-pressed from the seeds (nuts) of the pistachio tree (Pistacia vera). Used as a skin-conditioning emollient oil with no chemical modification.
In plain English
A rich emollient oil pressed directly from pistachio nuts. Used in skincare and hair care to soften and condition, much like a culinary nut oil but cosmetic grade.
CosIng definition: Pistacia Vera Seed Oil is the oil obtained from the nuts of the Pistachio, Pistacia vera L., Anacardiaceae
