Dove 50

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Dove 50 scores 50/100 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.

Dove 50 lists 16 ingredients, starting with Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Palmitate, Water and Lauric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 50/100 Dove 50 lands mid-scale — below the typical score in deodorant & antiperspirant, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in deodorant & antiperspirant is Crystal Mineral Deodorant Stick Unscented at 88/100.
