How we scored it
Pressed leaf juice: water (n = 1) plus dissolved plant sugars, acids and other compounds. Nothing synthetic retained. 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.
