Kirk's Gentle Castile Soap Original Fresh Scent

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Kirk's Gentle Castile Soap Original Fresh Scent scores 57/100 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.

Kirk's Gentle Castile Soap Original Fresh Scent lists 6 ingredients, starting with Sodium Cocoate, Water, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride and Sodium Gluconate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 57/100 Kirk's Gentle Castile Soap Original Fresh Scent lands mid-scale — below the typical score in hand soap, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in hand soap is Natural Sense Pure Castile Soap Peppermint at 97/100.
