Common questions

Is Colgate Total 13 healthy?

Colgate Total 13 scores 35/100 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.

What is in Colgate Total 13?

Colgate Total 13 lists 14 ingredients, starting with Water, Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Glycerin and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Colgate Total 13 contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Colgate Total 13’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Colgate Total 13?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Colgate Total 13 yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Colgate Total 13 compare to other toothpaste?

At 35/100 Colgate Total 13 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.

Is Colgate Total 13 organic?

Colgate Total 13 is not certified organic in our data.

Has Colgate Total 13 been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Colgate Total 13, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
