Dettol Germ Defence Antiseptic Liquid

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Dettol Germ Defence Antiseptic Liquid scores 69/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

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

At 69/100 Dettol Germ Defence Antiseptic Liquid lands mid-scale — below the typical score in hand soap, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in hand soap is Natural Sense Pure Castile Soap Peppermint at 97/100.
