Scotch-Brite Scouring Pad

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Scotch-Brite Scouring Pad scores 27/100 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.

Scotch-Brite Scouring Pad lists 12 ingredients, starting with Aluminum Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Crystalline Silica (Quartz), Silicon Carbide and Resin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Scotch-Brite Scouring Pad scores worse than most sponges & scrubbers we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sponges & scrubbers is Full Circle Completely Copper Scrubber at 100/100.
