Colgate Total Prevention Active Whitening Toothpaste

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Total Prevention Active Whitening Toothpaste 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.

Colgate Total Prevention Active Whitening Toothpaste lists 18 ingredients, starting with Glycerin, Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol and Calcium Pyrophosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Colgate Total Prevention Active Whitening 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.
