Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lemon Verbena Dish Soap plastic bottle 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.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lemon Verbena Dish Soap plastic bottle lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Lauramine Oxide and Lauryl Glucoside. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lemon Verbena Dish Soap plastic bottle scores worse than most dish soap we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dish soap is Meliora Cleaning Products Plastic-Free Dish Soap Lemon at 96/100.
