Needs Context

"Fermentation-derived / biotech = sustainable"

Fermentation describes a production route. It does not by itself establish lower environmental impact across a whole ingredient, formula and package. Evidence needs a comparison material, functional unit, production scale, energy mix, purification inputs and lifecycle boundary.

What to look for instead

Describe the documented process change and comparison basis. Keep one ingredient-production claim separate from a whole-product or planet-positive claim.
