How we scored it
Whole botanical leaf extract; every atom traceable to the plant matrix, no synthetic processing adds mass. 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.
