How we scored it

TEA-Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: coco acyl (lauroyl proxy) C12H23O 183.3 Da + hydrolysed soy protein peptide about 300 Da (natural) = 483.3 Da; triethanolamine counter-ion C6H15NO3 149.2 Da (petrochemical); total 632.5 Da → 0.76. Same method as TEA-Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen.
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 soy protein acylated with the fatty acid and neutralised with triethanolamine.

In plain English

A mild, protein-based cleansing ingredient made from coconut fatty acid and soy protein, with a conditioning agent used to help it dissolve in water.
