Deciphering the Symbol on the Toothpaste Tube



Toothpaste with a green line

The green stripe on your toothpaste packaging might indicate that the toothpaste is made from natural ingredients. When we say “all-natural,” we mean that the toothpaste doesn’t have artificial chemicals, medications, or whitening substances.


 

 

 

A blue line

 

Toothpaste with a blue stripe might mean it is a mix of natural toothpaste and medicine. When we talk about “added medications,” we are referring to toothpaste possibly having whitening ingredients or specific pain relievers.


 

 

 

The worst color to find on your toothpaste packaging is a black stripe. A black stripe means the toothpaste is entirely made from artificial chemicals. This is not something you should eat every day.
