Dawn Original Dish Soap

Breakdown

12 ingredients to avoid

Dawn Original Dish Soap scores 15/100 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.

Dawn Original Dish Soap lists 16 ingredients, starting with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, C10-16 Alkyl Dimethylamine Oxide, Ppg-26-buteth-26 and Sodium Hydroxide. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Dawn Original Dish Soap scores worse than most dishwasher detergent we have scored.
