What Do Color Codes on Toothpaste Mean?

The colors on toothpastes are another consumer tip that has been circulated on the internet and apparently it should provide information concerning the toothpaste to those who know where to look and what to look for on the packaging.  And as with most indicators, what they are deemed to mean is not normally correct.

Rumor has it that toothpaste color code means:

*Blue- natural + medicine

*Green - natural

*Red- Natural + chemical composition

*Black- Pure chemical

The Facts:

The colored squares on the tubes have no relationship with the content of the toothpaste. They are known as ‘color marks’ or ‘eye marks’, which are articles of the manufacturing process. These marks show whether the packet can be either folded or cut as interlocking units stream through machinery at a high speed and the makings can be seen using light beam sensors.

~It’s important to know that to determine the content of toothpaste, just read the information given under ingredients and you will get enough information.
