Dish Butter Zero-Waste Dish Soap

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Nellie's Dish Butter Zero-Waste Dish Soap 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.

Nellie's Dish Butter Zero-Waste Dish Soap lists 8 ingredients, starting with Coconut Amide Mea, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate and Sodium alpha Olefin (C14-16) Sulfonate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 53/100 Nellie's Dish Butter Zero-Waste Dish Soap lands mid-scale — below the typical score in dish soap, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in dish soap is Meliora Cleaning Products Plastic-Free Dish Soap Lemon at 96/100.
