Common questions

Is Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint healthy?

Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint scores 15/100 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 Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint?

Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint lists 15 ingredients, starting with Sorbitol, Water, Hydrated Silica, Glycerin and Peg-12. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint’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 Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint?

Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel Toothpaste Mint has no NOVA group.
