Common questions

Is NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel healthy?

NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel 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, NOW XyliWhite Mint Toothpaste Gel. 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 NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel?

NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Xylitol, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Bicarbonate and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel’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 NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel?

NOW Foods XyliWhite Platinum Mint Toothpaste Gel has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
