Radox Mens Feel Body Wash 400ml
Lower concern. Rinse-off body wash unlikely to accumulate PFAS.
Radox body wash is a rinse-off liquid cosmetic with no known PFAS-containing ingredients or waterproofing treatments. No public lab data available, but typical surfactant-based cleansers pose minimal PFAS exposure risk.

What Radox Mens Feel Body Wash 400ml is made of, ingredients and materials
Radox Mens Feel is formulated as a water-based liquid cleanser containing surfactants (cleaning agents), glycerin (humectant), and chemical preservatives. These are standard cosmetic ingredients used to create a stable, foaming body wash. The aqueous rinse-off format means most ingredients contact skin briefly before water removal, reducing absorption risk compared to leave-on products. No unusual or high-hazard raw materials are typical in mainstream body wash formulations at this price tier.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
1,4-dioxane (synthetic fragrance and preservative contaminant)
Fragmented product listings show 'parfum' (fragrance) listed as a component, which may include trace 1,4-dioxane as a manufacturing byproduct in synthetic fragrance compounds. Radox does not disclose fragrance sourcing or screening protocols. For a rinse-off product applied briefly to skin, exposure is low, but presence is not ruled out.
Fragrance allergens
The product is marketed as 'Mens Feel' with unspecified fragrance components. Common body wash allergens include limonene, linalool, and geraniol, which may be present in the parfum blend. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity or atopic dermatitis may experience contact dermatitis; patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin.
Skin sensitization from surfactant concentration
Body washes inherently contain anionic surfactants to remove oils; excessive use or application to broken or very dry skin may cause transient irritation or dryness. Radox does not emphasize dermatologist-tested or hypoallergenic claims, suggesting a standard rather than mild surfactant profile. Users with sensitive skin may experience mild stripping; rinsing thoroughly mitigates this.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea) are confirmed in publicly available ingredient lists for this product. Standard Radox formulations typically use phenoxyethanol or parabens. Without full disclosure, low probability but not completely ruled out.
Source, ATSDR ↗Microplastics
No visual or labeled microplastic beads are indicated in standard Radox body wash formulations. The product is a gel cleanser, not a scrub, so exfoliating microplastics are unlikely present. Microplastic contamination from contaminated raw materials is theoretically possible but unconfirmed.
Source, EPA ↗The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Radox (owned by Reckitt Benckiser, a major multinational personal care manufacturer) does not publicly disclose full ingredient sourcing, supplier audits, or microplastic screening policies on their main website. The brand has not faced major product recalls or safety controversies in recent public records. Reckitt Benckiser maintains conventional quality certifications (ISO, GMP) but does not promote premium natural or clean-label positioning, indicating a standard synthetic formulation approach.
How it compares in its category
Radox Mens Feel sits in the mainstream mass-market segment. It is chemically similar to brands like Dove Men, Lynx, and Gillette body washes in its reliance on conventional synthetic surfactants and chemical preservatives. Unlike premium or natural alternatives (e.g., Dr. Bronner's, Weleda), it does not highlight hypoallergenic or minimal-ingredient formulations, but also does not target sensitive skin specifically. For a standard body wash, this positioning carries typical cosmetic hazard profiles, not elevated ones.
If you buy it
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight to preserve preservative integrity over the 400ml product life. Apply as directed on wet skin, lather, and rinse thoroughly with water. Because this is a rinse-off product, dermal contact is minimal and transient. If skin irritation develops, discontinue use and rinse; this is rare with body washes but individuals with eczema or very sensitive skin may prefer fragrance-free options. No special maintenance or replacement triggers apply beyond normal product exhaustion.
