Common questions

Is Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint healthy?

Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint 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, plus lab results from its product family, Davids Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste. 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 Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint?

Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint lists 15 ingredients, starting with Calcium Carbonate, Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Water, Sodium Bicarbonate and Xylitol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint’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 Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint?

Davids Natural Toothpaste Sensitive + Whitening Natural Peppermint has no NOVA group.
