Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner 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.

Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Coco-sulfate and Sodium Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 50/100 Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner lands mid-scale — below the typical score in all-purpose cleaner, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in all-purpose cleaner is Dealworthy Multi-Purpose Cleaning Vinegar Unscented at 97/100.
