Colgate Optic White Instant Toothpaste

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Optic White Instant Toothpaste scores 19/100 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 Optic White Instant Toothpaste lists 14 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, Peg-12 and Pentasodium Triphosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 19/100 Colgate Optic White Instant Toothpaste 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.
