Downy Laundry Scent Booster Beads

Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Downy Laundry Scent Booster Beads 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.

Downy Laundry Scent Booster Beads lists 16 ingredients, starting with Peg (Perfume Carrier), Methyl Di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate (Mdbhc), Turmeric Colors, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and Hexyl Cinnamal. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Downy Laundry Scent Booster Beads scores worse than most laundry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in laundry is Branch Basics Oxygen Boost, 2 lb at 96/100.
