Colgate toothpaste products Halal or Haram.
Ali Baloch
One of Colgate's three global values is Caring, especially for our
consumers. One of the most important ways we demonstrate that value is
by providing consumers with information to help them choose the right
products to meet their specific needs. We appreciate this opportunity
to provide information regarding animal fats used in Colgate-Palmolive
products sold in the United States in order to facilitate the selection
of Halal products.
All of Colgate-Palmolive Company's bar soaps contain tallow-derived
ingredients. The tallowates used in these soaps are obtained only from
beef tallow. In addition, the glycerin in these soaps is certified as
pork free. The following bar soaps contain no pork or lard and,
therefore, are pork-free:
Palmolive Gold
Palmolive Classic
Cashmere Bouquet Beauty Bar
Irish Spring Bar, all variants
Vel Mild Skin Care Bar
Some of our toothpaste products contain glycerin. The glycerin we use
is obtained from both internal and external sources. All the glycerin
we use meets or exceeds the United States Pharmacopedia (USP) quality
standards. When made internally, the glycerin is made through
procedures involving evaporation, distillation and bleaching of a crude
glycerin derived from beef tallow, coconut or palm kernel oils.
Much of our glycerin is produced internally; however, it sometimes is
necessary to supplement the supply of glycerin by purchasing it from
external suppliers. When it is necessary to add to the supply by
buying glycerin, external suppliers are carefully selected. The
glycerin is only accepted if it meets or exceeds the United States
Pharmacopedia (USP) quality standards. Our regular quality control
procedures are used to monitor the quality of the glycerin.
All Colgate Toothbrushes are free of any animal-derived ingredient.
