According to wikipedia this chemical is required to be on the ingredient list. I checked my toothpaste and it wasn’t there. But I found out it has saccharin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, and cocamidopropyl betaine.
I need to look up those last two.

tetrasodium pyrophosphate: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0606.html
From the CDC:
Skin:Prevent skin contact
Eyes:Prevent eye contact

cocamidopropyl betaine:
cocamidopropyl betaine shampoo was developed using coconut oil as a base. The mild formula lathered well but wasn’t as astringent as typical detergents. It became the famous “no more tears” baby shampoo. Seems OK.

This FDA webpage says the same thing — if triclosan is used as an ingredient in a fluoride toothpaste, it should be listed as an ingredient on the label.
