Q: Benzoic acid (a non active ingredient) is listed on the Right to Know Hazardous Substance List. Why would that be in something we're putting in our mouth?

submitted by Cheryl - 10 months ago
  • A: Hello. This product has inactive ingredients of Benzoic acid, or more commonly its sodium salt, sodium benzoate. Benzoic acid is used in mouthwash as a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the product's shelf life.

Refreshing and suitable for the whole family.

An excellent option for the whole family due to its large size. And it's super refreshing, perfect for everyday use. This allows you to include it in your routine and continue using it because of its excellent results.

Highly recommend

The taste isn't the best, but the way it makes your mouth & gums feel so refreshed, you move past the taste. The cap makes a perfect measuring cup. There is no mixing it comes ready to use. Also comes in alcohol free. Comes in different flavors as well. The original or mint are my favorite. Natural ingredients are used in this as well, so nothing harmful.

Taste dislike

Does the job but It’s pure alcohol. Tastes like straight vodka. It’s good to help treat fungus on feet.

Part of my daily routine

This mouthwash does exactly what it’s supposed to do - kills bacteria and freshens breath. It doesn’t run out as quickly, since it comes in a big bottle, so it’s also very convenient!

Listerine is a potent mouthwash with a strong flav

Listerine's strong flavor and scent signal its effective germ-killing action, offering good value for oral hygiene. I will recommend everyone.

Oral Hygeine

If you want longer lasting fresh breath, then Listerine is the mouthwash to try. The original formula gives me fresher and a cleaner mouth than brushing and flossing alone. Even though it does contain alcohol this doesn’t seem to “burn” as much as other alcohol based mouthwashes for some reason. Although I like the original formula, I prefer Listerine’s more minty and menthol flavored one. But this is still very good

Strong but works

It may be unpleasant/harsh for some cause it’s strong stuff, but it comes in handy. I gargle when I’m feeling a sore throat and it helps. Also use it to disinfect my toothbrush with it periodically to keep it sanitary between change outs. It’s a solid mouthwash too.

Resourceful

Let me start by saying this: Original Listerine is not for the faint of heart. It’s bold, it’s intense, and it doesn’t apologize for it. That amber bottle holds a mouthwash that means business—if you want something minty and mild, this is not your friend. But if you want your mouth to feel like it just went through a deep-clean power wash, welcome home.

Original Listerine mouthwash

The original Listerine mouthwash is easily the most effective! You recognize the bottle immediately on the store shelves. The strong antiseptic really disinfects your mouth which promotes healthy gums and teeth.

Only will use this!

Only mouthwash I will use. Keep plaque off teeth and maintains a healthy gum line. Haven’t found any other mouthwash in this brand and others as good as this.
