How we scored it
Hydrolyzed collagen (protein hydrolysate, natural) + lauroyl C12 acyl group (coconut/palm, natural) + potassium salt (natural mineral). All fragments natural = 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
Made by acylating hydrolyzed animal collagen with a coconut- or palm-derived lauric fatty acid, then neutralising with potassium hydroxide. No petrochemical route is used.
In plain English
Hydrolysed collagen protein, modified with a coconut or palm-derived fatty acid and neutralised with potassium. Used to condition hair and skin.
CosIng definition: Collagen hydrolyzates, 1-oxododecyl derivatives, potassium salts
