How we scored it
Hydrolyzed amaranth protein (natural) condensed with coconut acid chloride (natural), Na counterion natural; condensation by-products not counted. Whole molecule = 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
Made by hydrolysing amaranth seed protein, then reacting it with coconut acid chloride and neutralising with sodium. All inputs are natural/oleochemical origin.
In plain English
A skin-conditioning ingredient made by attaching coconut fatty acid to amaranth plant protein broken into smaller fragments. It adds a light, protein-derived feel to formulas.
CosIng definition: Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is the sodium salt of the product obtained by the condensation of coconut acid chloride with Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein
