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 esterifying sucrose with fatty acids from cottonseed oil. Both building blocks are plant-derived.

In plain English

An emollient and emulsifier made by combining sugar (sucrose) with fatty acids from cottonseed oil. Both building blocks are plant-derived, so the finished ester is fully renewable.
