Evidence summary

What the Colgate data means.

Colgate has 4 product records in the current NonToxic.com database, spanning 2 categories: Personal Care, Toothpaste. The average score of 75/100 uses only 3 rated records. Shoppers should inspect product-level records because packaging, processing, test year, and contaminant fields can vary inside the same brand.

The current evidence mix for Colgate is 3 medium confidence, 1 no test data. Source labels represented on this page include PlasticList (plasticlist.org) (3), Open Food Facts (label data) (1), and test-year labels include 2024 (3), Not tested (1). 1 records lack a verified product-specific testing source and 1 records lack a verified test year. These items should drive source review and brand transparency requests before any broad safety claim is made.

Verified testing sources: Source record 1, Source record 2, Source record 3.

For practical review, start with Colgate 360 Extra Soft Toothbrush for Sensitive Teeth, the lowest-scoring Colgate item currently listed, then compare it with Colgate Pre-Brush Mouth Swish (Manual Brush), the strongest-scoring item in this brand set. If both products sit in the same category, use the category page to compare competing brands; if they sit in different categories, treat the brand score as a portfolio signal rather than a direct product substitute.

How to use this brand page.

Use this page to decide what to inspect next, not to label every Colgate product safe or unsafe. A brand with one listed product has a narrow evidence base, while a brand with many products may mix lower-concern records with elevated or highest-concern records. The most defensible workflow is to open the product page, read the source row, compare the category alternatives, and submit a correction if a newer lab report or packaging disclosure changes the evidence.
