Hand Soap

Breakdown

10 ingredients to avoid

Spruce Mist Hand Soap 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.

Spruce Mist Hand Soap lists 15 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Cocamide Dea and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 10/100 Spruce Mist Hand Soap scores worse than most hand soap we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hand soap is Natural Sense Pure Castile Soap Peppermint at 97/100.
