How we scored it
Whole botanical fruit extract; this site's 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
Extracted from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) berries by solvent or aqueous extraction. No synthetic alternative route.
In plain English
An extract from blackcurrant berries, used to condition skin and add fragrance. It's obtained directly from the fruit, so it's entirely plant-based.
CosIng definition: Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract is an extract obtained from the fruits of the Black Currant, Ribes nigrum L., Saxifragaceae
