How we scored it
Oil expressed directly from seeds; vegetable oils are 1.0 by rule.
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
