How we scored it
Essential oil: thujone, camphor, 1,8-cineole and other terpenoids isolated from the herb, nothing synthetic added. Natural 1.0 / total 1.0 = 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
Steam distillation of the herb of common sage (Salvia officinalis). Blended or reconstituted fragrance versions are a different product and not what this name describes.
