Colgate Total Active Prevention Gum Care & Sensitive Toothpaste

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Total Active Prevention Gum Care & Sensitive Toothpaste scores 39/100 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 Total Active Prevention Gum Care & Sensitive Toothpaste lists 13 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Glycerin, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Potassium Nitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 39/100 Colgate Total Active Prevention Gum Care & Sensitive 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.
