Formulating Natural Fluoride-free Mouthwash

Formulate your own natural mouthwashes with deodorizing, refreshing, soothing, antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.

Our natural mouthwash formulas use ingredients derived from natural sources, are sulfate- and fluoride-free and two are self-preserving, meaning no preservatives are added to the product.

Making your own mouthwash can be fun and cost-effective, and allows you complete control over what ingredients you use – you can avoid controversial, synthetic and potentially harmful ingredients, add natural active ingredients, and decide what flavors and colors you use (if any).

In this class, you’ll learn about:

• The impact of pH on teeth and the importance of pH in oral care products.
• Ingredients used in natural mouthwash including antimicrobial agents, sweeteners, humectants, surfactants, natural colorants and botanical extracts.
• How to create self-preserving mouthwash formulas and how to use food-safe preservative systems.

We will share practical guidance on formulating your own fluoride-free mouthwash, including:

• Key ingredients in mouthwash.
• Three formulation templates.
• The manufacturing process.
• Examples of natural mouthwash on the market.

Receive three ready-to-use formulations created by our cosmetic scientists

• Natural Spearmint Mouthwash - fresh and minty, preserved with food-safe preservatives.
• Peppermint pH-neutral Mouthwash - fresh and minty, made without preservatives using a self-preserving system.
• Eucalyptus and Lemon Mouthwash - fresh, herbal and antimicrobial, made without preservatives using a self-preserving system.

Each formula uses a different preservative or self-preserving system, and we share three Preservative Efficacy Test results proving each product is effectively preserved and safe for use.

We share the product development questions, formula, instructions, product specifications, and Preservative Efficacy Test results with each formulation. We’ll also share ideas for varying and substituting ingredients.

This class includes a beautiful textbook to download and a demonstration video showing our cosmetic scientist making Natural Spearmint Mouthwash, which you can follow step by step.
