Two Colgate Products that may contain gelatin, glycerin or other ingrediants made from a non kosher animal.

Disclaimer: While it may or may not be Halachically ok to use toothpaste and other such stuff that may contain non kosher ingredients such as Gelatin or Glycerin made from a pig or non kosher beef etc ( ask your Local Rabbi ) (and also see CRC on toothpaste ) but in case you would rather use a Colgate brand/type that also doesn't have any animal ingredients at least according to the mfg 

The two products pictured below Colgate Max Fresh Toothpaste, and Colgate Wisp may contain Animal Ingredients according to Colgate.

Dear
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.

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

All Colgate Toothpastes and Toothbrushes that are marketed in the U.S., with the exception of Colgate Wisp and Colgate Max Fresh with Mouthwash Beads, are free of any animal-derived ingredients. All glycerin used in our Toothpastes comes from only synthetic or vegetable sources.
