Refreshing Wash Gel

Breakdown

16 ingredients to avoid

NIVEA Refreshing Wash Gel scores 10/100 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.

NIVEA Refreshing Wash Gel lists 27 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Myreth Sulfate, Acrylates Copolymer and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 NIVEA Refreshing Wash Gel scores worse than most facial cleanser we have scored. A higher-scoring option in facial cleanser is Honey Girl Organics Organic Rose Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover at 100/100.
