How we scored it
Expressed plant juice (water plus dissolved plant solutes): all mass plant-derived, so 1.0. No synthetic fragments.
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
Fresh Plantago lanceolata plant material is pressed and the juice filtered. No commercially significant synthetic route exists; any added preservative is a separate INCI entry.
In plain English
Juice pressed from ribwort plantain, a common meadow plant, used as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is a plant juice collected by pressing the fresh plant, with no synthetic building blocks.
CosIng definition: Plantago Lanceolata Juice is the juice expressed from Plantago lanceolata, Plantaginaceae .
