Common questions

Is 3% hydrogen peroxide healthy?

3% hydrogen peroxide scores 95/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in 3% hydrogen peroxide?

3% hydrogen peroxide lists 2 ingredients, starting with Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2o2) and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does 3% hydrogen peroxide contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in 3% hydrogen peroxide’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is 3% hydrogen peroxide?

3% hydrogen peroxide has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does 3% hydrogen peroxide compare to other skin care?

At 95/100 3% hydrogen peroxide sits in our top band, among the better skin care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in skin care is Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream at 100/100.

Is 3% hydrogen peroxide organic?
