Common questions

Is Dettol healthy?

Dettol scores 73/100 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 Dettol?

Dettol lists 7 ingredients, starting with Chloroxylenol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Pine Oil, Water and Castor Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Dettol contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Dettol’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 Dettol?

Dettol 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 Dettol compare to other household & cleaning?

At 73/100 Dettol sits in our top band, among the better household & cleaning we have scored. A higher-scoring option in household & cleaning is Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda at 100/100.

Is Dettol organic?

Dettol is not certified organic in our data.
