Most of the time we don’t notice the color coded markings that are found on everyday items sold in stores. While they appear on many products, on toothpaste tubes there’s a popular myth that they identify what the toothpaste is made of.

For a while now there’s been an “urban legend” online that users have shared, saying that the colors on the base of toothpaste tubes indicate what they’re made of and how damaging they can be for your health. But the information contained in post after post is completely false; and in today’s article we’ll try to clear up what these marks really mean, and whether it’s more than just a simple color.


According to the now-viral misinformation that’s circulating the web, toothpaste tubes have a different colored square or rectangle at the end of the tube, opposite the opening. This color varies from brand to brand and supposedly indicates that the product is made up of as follows:

Green = Natural products

Blue = Natural and medicinal products

Red = Natural and chemical components

Black = Purely chemical components

Well, as we already said at the beginning of the article, this information is completely false and just another urban legend to frighten people. Because the purpose of this site is to give you as complete information about health as possible, we want to explain what these colored marks really mean, and why you should pay any attention to the alarming posts you read on the internet.
