How we scored it
Sap collected from Vitis vinifera vines; plant fluid, entirely plant-derived = 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
Collection of the sap that bleeds from pruned grapevines in early spring, then filtering and stabilising it. No alternative route applies.
In plain English
The clear sap that rises from grapevine stems in spring, used to condition skin. It is collected directly from the plant and is mostly water with small amounts of sugars, minerals and organic acids.
CosIng definition: Vitis Vinifera Vine Sap is the sap obtained from the vines of the Grape, Vitis Vinifera L., Vitaceae
