Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Magic Soap Almond plastic bottle

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Magic Soap Almond plastic bottle scores 27/100 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.

Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Magic Soap Almond plastic bottle lists 12 ingredients, starting with Water, Organic Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Organic Palm Kernel Oil and Organic Olive Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Magic Soap Almond plastic bottle scores worse than most hand soap we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hand soap is Natural Sense Pure Castile Soap Peppermint at 97/100.
