A clear liquid that tastes right
Cosmetic or medicated
Freshens breath, cleans the mouth and helps reduce plaque-forming bacteria are the usual cosmetic territory when properly supported. Claims like treat gum disease or kills 99.9% germs need evidence and usually a medicated route.
See cosmetic claims in India for how to think about claims.
Bottles and caps
250 to 500 ml bottles with a measuring cap are standard. Check that flavour does not soften the plastic and that a tamper seal is used.

What we test
Common mistakes
Mouthwash: common questions
Is mouthwash a cosmetic?
A fresh-breath mouthwash is generally a cosmetic. Medicated rinses are drugs.
Can I make an alcohol-free mouthwash?
Yes, and most new brands do.
Should customers swallow mouthwash?
No. The pack should say to spit and not to swallow, and keep out of children’s reach.
Can I add xylitol?
Yes, at suitable levels.
