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

In plain English
A rose petal extract that tones skin and adds a natural fragrance. It's made by extracting cabbage rose flowers, so it comes entirely from the rose plant.
