Evidence summary
What the Colgate data means.
Colgate has 4 product records in the current NonToxic.com database, spanning 2 categories: Household Products, Toothpaste. The average score of 77/100 is useful for screening, but shoppers should still 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 specified (1). 0 records still need a more specific source URL and 1 records still need a normalized test year, so these items should drive brand transparency requests before any broad safety claim is made.
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.
