Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil scores 53/100 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.

Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil lists 16 ingredients, starting with Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Polyglyceryl-10 Dioleate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate and Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 53/100 Mario Badescu Cleansing Oil lands mid-scale — below the typical score in facial cleanser, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in facial cleanser is Honey Girl Organics Organic Rose Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover at 100/100.
