Abstract

Introduction: Mouthwash is a product mainly used to inhibit bacteria cause of caries, mouth odor and dental plaque. There are many diversity of the commercial mouthwash products in terms of components and purposes. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the information of commercial available products by emphasizing the appropriateness of the ingredients in the formulation to guide the future development of the mouthwash products. Methodology: The samples with clear registration number on the label were collected and the data were analyzed in terms of ingredients, quantity and price. Results: Considering the sources of active ingredients, there were three categories, i.e, 1) the combination of natural and chemical synthetic sources (64.3%), 2) chemical synthetic source (33.3%) and 3) natural source (2.4%). The used solvents was alcohol (33.3%) and to avoid the undesirable taste during uses there were more products containing non-alcoholic solvents (66.7%). The non-ionic surfactant was used to prevent the oral mucosal irritation. Sodium saccharin was commonly used as a sweetener, generally in combination with sugar alcohol with various coloring and flavoring agents.  For quantity perspective, the price per volume was lower in the bigger container form of the products. Conclusion: At the moment, the active ingredients and the excipients used in the marketed mouthwash formulation were varied. With the safety concerns, there are higher tendency to use these ingredients from natural source. The obtained data showed the up-date situation on the formulation of the marketed mouthwash and also suggest the trends for future development on the variety of product uses and for gaining more value-added mouthwash products.
