How we scored it

Tyrosol (natural, from Rhodiola/fermentation) + glucose, glycosidically linked; both natural building blocks, no petrochemical fragment.
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

Traditionally extracted from Rhodiola rosea root; increasingly produced by fermentation/biotransformation routes that build the molecule from natural tyrosol and glucose. Both routes are natural-origin.

In plain English

A natural plant compound from Rhodiola rosea root, used to help protect skin. Obtained by extracting the root or by fermentation-based production.
