Common questions

Is CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash healthy?

CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash scores 21/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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 CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash?

CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash lists 7 ingredients, starting with Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Water, Citric Acid, Cocamide Dea and Hydroxyethylcellulose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash’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 CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash?

CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash 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 CVS Health Advanced Antibacterial Hand Wash compare to other hand soap?
