Who Are INEOS?
INEOS Hygienics is a brand that appeared on supermarket shelves seemingly overnight, and there’s a reason for that. It was launched in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, when there was a worldwide shortage of hand sanitiser. The company quickly pivoted its manufacturing resources to produce high-quality sanitiser at scale, setting up production sites across Europe to meet urgent demand.
The wider INEOS Group is one of the largest chemical companies in the world, with deep expertise in science and manufacturing. That background shows in the formulations, these aren’t generic supermarket own-brand products dressed up in fancy packaging. The science credentials feel genuine.
Since those early sanitiser days, the Hygienics range has expanded rapidly into everyday personal care and household products, with a focus on three things: scientific innovation, sustainability, and everyday performance at accessible prices.
I first noticed INEOS in my local supermarket last year and have since spotted the range growing on every visit. Curious about the brand, I decided to put several of its products to the test.
Where to Buy INEOS Products
INEOS Hygienics is now widely available across the UK:
- Supermarkets: Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, ASDA
- Pharmacy and online: Boots, Ocado, Amazon
Prices sit comfortably in the affordable mid-range, broadly competing with brands like Carex, Method and Dove but in my experience, outperforming many of them.
What’s in the Range?
The INEOS Hygienics line covers a broad mix of personal care and household products:
- Hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes
- Shower gel and body wash
- Moisturising hand wash
- Deodorant
- Washing up liquid
- Multi-surface and multi-room cleaners
- Laundry detergents
It’s a comprehensive and expanding range. I haven’t tested everything yet, but I’ve made a solid start and I’ll be adding to this review as I try more.
INEOS Body Wash Review: Mandarin & Sandalwood
Price: £3.00 for 300ml Claims: 24-hour freshness, plant-powered formula, cooling technology, moisturising
The scent is pleasant and subtle, leaning more towards fresh than sweet, with the sandalwood adding a slightly warm base note. Personally I tend to prefer floral or fruity scents in a body wash, but this was refreshing without being overpowering and I can see it appealing to a wide range of people.
The texture is nourishing and left no irritation or dryness, which matters to me with sensitive skin. As for the “odour and sweat control” claim, I didn’t notice anything dramatically different to other good body washes, but it performed perfectly well as an everyday shower gel.
One small thing: the label highlights “gender neutral” as a selling point, which I found slightly confusing and unnecessary to be honest.
Verdict: A good everyday body wash at a fair price. I’d repurchase but would try a different fragrance next time. The range includes other options, such as White Orris + Cherry and Sea Salt + Blue Lotus. I have no idea what Orris or a Blue Lotus smells like, but they sound exotic!
INEOS Multi Room Cleaner Review
Price: £3.50 for 750ml each Fragrances tried: Rhubarb & Pomegranate | Bergamot & Cedarwood
Rhubarb & Pomegranate
This was a genuine joy to use; it made cleaning feel almost indulgent, which is not something I say lightly about a supermarket cleaner. Surfaces came up clean, the fruity scent lingered beautifully without being overpowering, and at £3.50 for 750ml the value is excellent. A definite repurchase.
Bergamot & Cedarwood
Performed just as well in terms of cleaning but felt stronger and more intense, It reminded me of aftershave. I didnt love this fragrance for general kitchen use, so I kept it for the bathroom where a bolder scent works better. I won’t repurchase this fragrance specifically but the formula itself is good.
Other fragrances in the range include Sicilian Lemon & Cypress, Sea Minerals & Wild Jasmine, and Pomelo & Yuzu. I’ll be looking out for these on my next supermarket trip.
Verdict: The Rhubarb & Pomegranate is one of the best value multi-room cleaners I’ve tried. Highly recommended for the fragrance and cleaning ability.
INEOS Hand Wash Review
Price: £2.00 for 500ml each Standout features: Blend of 4 moisturisers, infused with phytoncides (plant-based antibacterial molecules)
White Rose & Neroli
My favourite of the two and genuinely one of the nicest hand washes I’ve used at any price point. The rose scent is gorgeous without being cloying, and it feels far more premium than £2.00 suggests.
Rhubarb & Tonka
A lovely, warm, slightly sweet scent. Equally moisturising and just as effective. If rose isn’t your thing, this is an equally strong alternative.
Both formulas are genuinely moisturising. My hands didn’t dry out despite repeated washing throughout the day. I found it more moisturising than Molton Brown, for instance, and at a fraction of the price. As much as I enjoy a fancy bottle of hand wash on display, it is money quite literally washed down the drain.
The phytoncide antibacterial technology is an interesting touch; whether it makes a measurable difference at home is hard to say, but it does give the sense of thoughtful formulation rather than just another hand wash.
Verdict: Outstanding value. A confident repurchase and one of the best everyday hand washes available at supermarket prices. The White Rose & Neroli is a particular highlight.
What I’m Trying Next
Having been impressed across the board, I’m planning to try the INEOS laundry detergent next. It’s already won an award from the Independent and gets strong reviews, so it’s high on my list. I’ll update this post with my verdict once I’ve put it through its paces.
I also have a separate round-up of tried and tested laundry favourites if you’re looking for recommendations while you wait.
Final Verdict: Is INEOS Worth Buying?
Based on everything I’ve tried, yes and without hesitation. INEOS Hygienics delivers well-formulated, genuinely effective products at prices that make them easy to justify as everyday staples.
The standout products for me are the White Rose & Neroli Hand Wash and the Rhubarb & Pomegranate Multi Room Cleaner. I will continue to repurchase both of these. The body wash is a good choice as well, and I’ll be exploring more of the fragrance options in this range.
If you’re looking for good-quality, affordable household and personal care products with a credible scientific background, INEOS is well worth a place in your trolley.
