How we scored it

Triglycerides of plant fatty acids on glycerol, pressed from licuri palm seed: all natural fragments, nothing synthetic added. Natural 100% / total 100% = 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

Dominant route is mechanical pressing of licuri palm seeds (kernels), as with other lauric palm kernel oils. No synthetic or alternative route exists for this oil.

In plain English

A plant oil used for skin conditioning. It is pressed from the seeds (kernels) of the licuri palm of north-eastern Brazil and consists mainly of saturated fatty acids, especially lauric acid, joined to glycerol.
