CLAIM BOUNDARY

Scores 1–7 are derived from ESA Copernicus satellite data (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, ERA5). Score 8 uses brand-supplied INCI declaration. This is an environmental origin intelligence report — not a full life-cycle assessment.

SCORE EXPLANATIONS

What each score actually means

Each NEI score is derived from satellite and climate datasets, not brand claims. Below is the evidence behind every number.

NDVI EVIDENCE
🌿8/10

Argan grove condition above regional average

Sentinel-2 imagery of the Sous-Massa argan grove cluster shows a seasonal NDVI mean of 0.52, placing this lot's origin area in the top 30% of monitored argan zones. Tree canopy density and chlorophyll signal indicate healthy, actively photosynthesising trees during the 2025 harvest window.

Sentinel-2 L2A · 10m resolution · Oct–Dec 2025
WATER STRESS
💧6/10

Moderate irrigation pressure, within expected range

WRI Aqueduct rates the Sous-Massa basin as medium-high water stress (score 3.2/5). NDWI analysis shows a –9% anomaly vs the 5-year seasonal baseline, reflecting below-average rainfall in autumn 2025. Argan trees are drought-adapted; this level of stress is within the species' resilience threshold and does not indicate yield or quality risk.

SOIL EVIDENCE
🪨7/10

Stable soil health in semi-arid origin landscape

MSAVI2 (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) readings for the origin polygon indicate stable organic matter retention and low erosion signal. ERA5-Land data confirms no significant heat anomaly during the critical root-growth period. The rocky calcareous soils typical of this region are well-suited to argan cultivation and show no degradation trend over the 3-year monitoring window.

DEFORESTATION STATUS
🛡️9/10

Deforestation-free verified — no land-use change detected

Sentinel-1 SAR backscatter analysis covering a 5km radius around the origin geo-polygon shows zero statistically significant land-cover change events between January 2023 and December 2025. The argan grove area is classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with active monitoring confirming no illegal clearing or conversion to agricultural use.

CARBON ESTIMATE
🌍7/10

Low carbon intensity for botanical ingredient origin

EO-derived carbon intensity estimate for this argan oil lot is 1.8 kg CO₂e per kg of raw ingredient — below the cosmetics botanical ingredient category average of 2.4 kg CO₂e/kg. The estimate covers land-use carbon flux, biomass carbon stock, and transport distance from origin to processing facility. Argan trees are net carbon sequesters over their 150–200 year lifespan.

SUPPLY CHAIN
🔗9/10

Full lot-to-grove traceability anchored on-chain

This product's GS1 GTIN is cryptographically linked to the origin geo-polygon via a CIRPASS-aligned DPP JSON-LD record anchored on Base Ethereum L2. The blockchain hash (0x7c2a…f4d1) was committed at lot creation and cannot be altered. Every scan of this QR code resolves to the same immutable environmental record, verified independently of the brand.

INGREDIENT ORIGIN
✦8/10

Single-origin argan oil from verified Moroccan grove cluster

Satellite-verified single-origin sourcing from the Sous-Massa region, Morocco — the world's primary argan cultivation zone. The origin polygon covers a cooperative-managed grove cluster with a documented harvest-to-processing chain. No blending with oils from unverified origins is indicated in the lot declaration. Botanical species identity (Argania spinosa) is confirmed by the supplier's INCI declaration.

PACKAGING
♻️5/10

Partially recyclable packaging — improvement potential identified

The product uses a glass primary container (100% recyclable) with a mixed-material pump dispenser (currently non-recyclable). Secondary cardboard packaging is FSC-certified. Overall packaging recyclability score is 52% by weight. This score is based on the brand's material declaration; satellite data does not cover packaging — this field uses brand-supplied data verified against EU packaging regulation thresholds.
