VO5 Matt Clay

Breakdown

9 ingredients to avoid

VO5 Matt Clay 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.

VO5 Matt Clay lists 15 ingredients, starting with Kaolin, Petrolatum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Trilaureth-4 Phosphate and Cera Microcristallina. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 VO5 Matt Clay 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.
