How we scored it
Description = whole grape bud extract (1.0); attached formula/IUPAC (linoleic acid, C18H32O2) looks like a mismatched PubChem record for a single fatty acid, not the extract; description trusted per instructions.
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
Extracted from the buds of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) using water or glycol solvents. The attached fatty-acid formula does not match a bud extract and was not used in scoring.
In plain English
A plant extract made from grapevine buds, used to condition skin. It's produced by simple extraction from the buds with no synthetic ingredients.
CosIng definition: Vitis Vinifera Bud Extract is the extract of the buds of the Grape, Vitis Vinifera L., Vitaceae
