Common questions

Is Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste healthy?

Sensodyne Advanced 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, plus lab results from its product family, Sensodyne Extra/Advanced Whitening (triphosphate + SMCT). 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 Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste?

Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste lists 9 ingredients, starting with Hydrated Silica, Sorbitol, Pentasodium Triphosphate, Peg-8 and Flavor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste’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 Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste?

Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste 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.

How does Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste compare to other toothpaste?

At 15/100 Sensodyne Advanced Whitening 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.

Is Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste organic?

Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste is not certified organic in our data.

Has Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste been lab tested?

It shares a base recipe (Hydrated silica, sorbitol, PEG-8, pentasodium triphosphate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, titanium dioxide; no alumina or SLS) with the other products in its family, Sensodyne Extra/Advanced Whitening (triphosphate + SMCT), and 1 product in its family has been lab tested. This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.

Does Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste contain heavy metals?
