Charcoal Toothpaste

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Pei Mei Charcoal Toothpaste scores 56/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Pei Mei Charcoal Toothpaste lists 10 ingredients, starting with Deionized Water, Charcoal Powder, Glycerin, Sorbitol and Calcium Carbonate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 Pei Mei Charcoal Toothpaste lands mid-scale — below the typical score in toothpaste, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Pepsodent Herbal Fresh Mint Sage Chamomile Myrrh Toothpaste at 100/100.
