Colgate Max Clean Toothpaste Effervescent Mint

Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Max Clean Toothpaste Effervescent Mint 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.

Colgate Max Clean Toothpaste Effervescent Mint lists 15 ingredients, starting with Sodium Fluoride, Water, Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica and Peg-12. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Colgate Max Clean Toothpaste Effervescent Mint scores worse than most toothpaste we have scored. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
