Science-led ingredients and responsible manufacturing

Every single ingredient we use is completely safe for you, your family, and the environment. We know this because we test each one carefully, at every stage of the product lifecycle – from the development lab to the store shelf, and even to your bathroom at home.

As technology changes, our team of scientists and oral health experts are passionately seeking out, and fighting for the highest quality ingredients.

We’re creating products that are better for you and the planet

Vegan

The majority of our products are vegan and don’t contain any animal-derived ingredients, animal by-products, or processing aids.

Sugar-free

We don’t add sugar to our products. We use sugar substitutes or artificial & natural sweeteners to improve flavor.

Gluten-free

Our products are free from gluten that can be found in wheat, rye, and barley.

Responsibly made

We protect our people and the planet too. Our manufacturing sites are safe workspaces for our teams around the world. And we’re making great progress with energy and water efficiency on our path toward becoming a zero-waste company.

Some of our ingredients are tricky to pronounce, but all are backed by science and incorporated to keep you and your smile bright and healthy.

Committed to safety and science

We are constantly seeking opportunities to improve the Colgate experience. This means always looking for new ingredients and formulations that provide the same or better benefits without ever sacrificing quality.
