Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste scores 53/100 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.

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.

At 53/100 Sensodyne Advanced Whitening Toothpaste lands mid-scale — below the typical score in toothpaste, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
