How we scored it
CosIng defines this as a volatile plant oil; the attached C35H52O6 formula looks like a single marker constituent, not the whole oil, so description overrides per instructions; oil = 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
Steam-distilled as a volatile oil from the roots/rhizomes of Zingiber cassumunar (Plai), a ginger-family plant. No significant alternative route.
In plain English
A volatile essential oil distilled from the roots of Plai (Zingiber cassumunar), a ginger-family plant, used for skin conditioning.
CosIng definition: Zingiber Cassumunar Root Oil is the volatile oil obtained from the roots of Zingiber cassumunar, Zingiberaceae
