Weleda Plant Gel Toothpaste

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Weleda Plant Gel Toothpaste scores 69/100 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.

Weleda Plant Gel Toothpaste lists 12 ingredients, starting with Glycerin, Water, Hydrated Silica, Alcohol and Microcrystalline Cellulose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 69/100 Weleda Plant Gel 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.
