Alcohol-Free Mouthwash FAQs

What's the Difference Between Alcohol vs. Alcohol-Free Mouthwash?

As you may have already guessed, the difference between alcohol versus alcohol-free mouthwash is that one contains alcohol and the other doesn’t. While they’re common in oral care routines, alcohol-based mouthwashes can leave an unpleasant aftertaste in addition to causing a burning, dry sensation in the mouth. On the other hand, alcohol-free mouthwashes keep your mouth fresh and clean without alcohol. Desert Essence's mouthwashes instead use natural botanicals to remove impurities from the teeth and gums.

Alcohol-Free Mouthwash Benefits

The key benefit of alcohol-free mouthwashes is that they’re less likely to irritate and dry out your mouth. Ingredients such as zinc citrate and tea tree oil in Desert Essence’s mouthwashes help defend your mouth against plaque, bacteria and cavity-forming sugar acids. In addition, botanicals such as coconut and mint keep the mouth minty fresh!

You can also pair your alcohol-free mouthwash with supplementary oral brushing rinses such as our Prebiotic Brushing Rinse in gingermint. These formulas are designed for use before you brush to help neutralize odor-causing bacteria while cultivating a healthy mouth microbiome with ingredients like inulin, perilla seed, chicory root and tea tree oil. The Coconut Oil Dual Phase Pulling Rinse, inspired by the ancient Ayurvedic practice of oil pulling, can also help reduce bacteria and buildup in the mouth.

Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash FAQs

How Does Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash Work?

Beloved for its cleansing uses and clarifying benefits in personal care, tea tree oil is derived from melaleuca alternifolia, a shrub native to Australia. In oral care, tea tree oil helps fight build up of cavity forming sugar acids. At Desert Essence, we carry a variety of tea tree oil mouthwashes to suit your needs — tea tree oil joins forces with other potent botanicals to help you maintain a clean and healthy mouth. Our Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash - Ultra Care soothes irritated gums with chamomile, aloe and myrrh, while our Tea Tree Oil Whitening Plus Mouthwash will help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile with stain-lifting bamboo juice. Looking for minty freshness? Our Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash with Spearmint provides botanical care for teeth and gums while freshening breath with sweet notes of spearmint oil.

Tea Tree Oil Mouthwash Benefits for Teeth & Gums

Tea tree oil is a powerhouse botanical for helping to maintain teeth and gum health. In our mouthwashes, tea tree oil and zinc citrate team up to fight against cavity-forming sugar acids and build up. Paired with other natural ingredients such as coconut and spearmint, tea tree oil will also leave you with wonderfully fresh breath.
