Total Active Prevention Clean Mint Toothpaste

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Colgate Total Active Prevention Clean Mint Toothpaste scores 16/100 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 Clean Mint Toothpaste lists 21 ingredients, starting with Sodium Fluoride, Sorbitol, Water, Hydrated Silica and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 16/100 Colgate Total Active Prevention Clean Mint 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.
