How we scored it
CosIng description is a whole-plant extract (natural, 1.0 per botanical convention); the attached formula/IUPAC (an acridine amine, C20H26N2) is chemically unrelated and disregarded per instructions.
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 the whole Scutellaria baicalensis plant using water or solvent. No synthetic version exists; flagged because the supplied formula/CAS data does not match a plant extract.
In plain English
A plant extract from Baikal skullcap used for its natural antimicrobial properties. It's a straightforward botanical extract, though the chemical data attached to this entry looks mismatched and needs checking.
CosIng definition: Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract is the extract of the whole plant, Scutellaria baicalensis, Lamiaceae
