According to this pdf from Colgate-Palmolive Australia, it appears that the Colgate range of toothpastes (some if not all) contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
SLS is a mild detergent and foaming agent that produces the foam when you brush your teeth.
It is generally believed to be safe to use although some studies have found that it can increase the frequency of oral ulcers (aphthous ulcer/canker sores) which are often mistaken for cold sores (herpes virus). These sores are quite common (15-30% of the population experience them) but unlike cold sores are not contagious. Their cause is unknown.
However, some studies have also found no relationship between SLS and the frequency of apthous ulcers.
