How we scored it
Whole dried, ground root powder; this site's convention: powders = 1.0. The supplied formula/iupac describe a marker gingerol compound, not the bulk powder; description is authoritative.
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
Made by drying and grinding ginger (Zingiber officinale) roots. No alternative industrial route for the powder itself.
In plain English
Ground, dried ginger root used whole as a powder in skin-conditioning blends. Nothing but dried ginger root, milled fine.
CosIng definition: Zingiber Officinale Root Powder is the powder obtained from the dried, ground roots of the Ginger, Zingiber officinale L., Zingiberaceae
