How we scored it
Hydrolyzed oat protein (natural) + coconut fatty acyl group (natural) + Na+ (natural mineral) = 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
Hydrolysed oat protein is acylated with coconut fatty acid chloride and supplied as the sodium salt; both the protein and the fatty acyl group are natural. No petrochemical route exists.
In plain English
A mild cleansing and conditioning ingredient made by attaching coconut fatty acid to oat protein pieces, then converting to the sodium salt. Entirely derived from plant sources.
CosIng definition: Proteins, oat (Avena sativa), hydrolyzed, N-(coconut-oil-acyl), sodium salts
