What is Titanium Dioxide?

A mineral-based material used for its texture and color, titanium dioxide is recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The ingredient can be found in food, cosmetics, and personal care items.

Titanium Dioxide in Toothpaste

The ingredient is used as a coloring agent to give toothpaste its white color.

Is Titanium Dioxide Safe in Toothpaste?

The mineral-based ingredient has been used in a number of products, specifically in the cosmetic and drugs industry and is recognized as safe by the FDA.

When formulated into a toothpaste, titanium dioxide is safe to use and does not create any additional risks to human health.

Crest Toothpaste without Titanium Dioxide

Most Crest toothpastes contain titanium dioxide as a whitening pigment. However, Crest Pro-Health Stages Toothpaste varieties do not use titanium dioxide.
