Alberto Balsam Ultra Strong Styling Hair Gel

Breakdown

14 ingredients to avoid

Unilever Alberto Balsam Ultra Strong Styling Hair 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.

Unilever Alberto Balsam Ultra Strong Styling Hair Gel lists 27 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Vp/Va Copolymer, Vinyl Caprolactam/Vp/Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Glycerin and Propylene Glycol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Unilever Alberto Balsam Ultra Strong Styling Hair Gel scores worse than most styling products we have scored. A higher-scoring option in styling products is Carina Organics Alcohol-Free Unscented Styling Gel at 100/100.
