How we scored it
Coconut acyl chains + hydrolysed pea protein peptides + sodium counter-ion; acid chloride and base are reagents that leave no mass. All fragments natural: 1.00.
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
Coconut or palm kernel fatty acid is converted to its acid chloride and reacted with hydrolysed pea protein, then neutralised with sodium hydroxide. No significant alternative route exists.
In plain English
A foaming cleanser and hydrotrope (it helps oils mix with water). It joins coconut fatty acid to small pieces of pea protein and is neutralised with sodium, giving a plant-based wash ingredient.
CosIng definition: Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein is the sodium salt of the condensation product of coconut acid chloride and Hydrolyzed Pea Protein.
