Vegan Toothpaste



As a vegan, you sometimes do not know what goes into those daily products that you rely on. It is common for me to wonder "It this soap...is this candle...is this toothpaste...vegan???"

One of my questions was answered today at http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/Vegetarian-Newsletter/Toothpaste-Vegetarian-Ingredients.htm

"Toothpaste Ingredients
A major point to understand in reference to toothpastes is that glycerin can come from pig or cow in addition to plants.
Crest says they will be going to use glycerin from a vegetarian source in the future, which means that it is made from animal ingredient right now.
Sensodyne uses animal (beef).
Colgate has a list of the toothpastes that they make which are vegetarian. Click Here to view the letter from Colgate listing the toothpaste product they produce made with vegetarian ingredients.All Colgate Toothbrushes are free of any animal-derived ingredient.
