Common questions

Is Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve healthy?

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve 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.

What is in Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve?

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve lists 21 ingredients, starting with Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Stearyl Esters, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Cetearyl Alcohol and Peg-75 Stearate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve?

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve compare to other hand & foot cream?
