How we scored it
Hydrolyzed collagen (amino acids) + oleoyl group from oleic acid + Na salt; every fragment natural. 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 from collagen protein hydrolysate acylated with oleic acid from animal or vegetable fat, as the sodium salt. No petrochemical route is used.
In plain English
A mild cleansing ingredient made from broken-down collagen protein combined with a fatty acid from oil, then formed into a sodium salt. Used in shampoos and cleansers to clean and condition.
