Common questions

Is Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste healthy?

Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste 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 Active Fresh Toothpaste?

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

Does Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste’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 Active Fresh Toothpaste?

Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste compare to other toothpaste?

At 35/100 Colgate Total Active Fresh 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.

Is Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste organic?

Colgate Total Active Fresh Toothpaste is not certified organic in our data.
