Colgate Kids Toothpaste

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Kids Toothpaste scores 37/100 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.

Colgate Kids Toothpaste lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Peg-12 and Flavour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Colgate Kids Toothpaste scores worse than most toothpaste we have scored. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Pepsodent Herbal Fresh Mint Sage Chamomile Myrrh Toothpaste at 100/100.
