Colgate Optic White Stain Fighter Clean Mint Paste

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Optic White Stain Fighter Clean Mint Paste scores 44/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Stain Fighter Clean Mint Paste lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Peg-12, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Flavor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 44/100 Colgate Optic White Stain Fighter Clean Mint Paste lands mid-scale — below the typical score in toothpaste, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
