Mouth wash consists of diluents, antibacterial agents, soaps, flavoring agents, and colorants. The primary and major ingredient of any mouthwash formula is deionized water (over 50%). Water is deionized, in order to minimize impact of ions on flavor. Another major diluent used is alcohol (over 20%). The percentage of alcohol content changes according to the type of mouthwash and government regulations.
Antibacterial agents such as phenols, tannic acid, thymol, salol, hexachloraphene, chlorinated thymols, and quaternary ammonium compounds are widely used in mouthwash manufacturing. These ingredients are incorporated into mouthwash formula according to required properties of the end product. For instance, chlorinated phenols possesses both antibacterial effect and flavor. Due to the non-toxic & non-irritating nature, quaternary ammonium compounds are often used to treat plaque.
Color and flavors are added in mouthwash to improve appearance of the end product. The commonly used food colors are green, blue, and pink. Mint, fresh tea, active salt, bubble gum, and fruits are some of the commonly preferred flavors across the world.
