Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Smartly Lemon Scented Dishwasher Gel 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.

Smartly Lemon Scented Dishwasher Gel lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Benzoate, Alcohol Alkoxylate and Maleic/Olefin Copolymer. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Smartly Lemon Scented Dishwasher Gel scores worse than most dishwasher detergent we have scored. A higher-scoring option in dishwasher detergent is Molly's Suds Dish Detergent Powder Unscented at 100/100.
