Collection: Mouthwash

Naturally Sweet offers a smarter way to care for your smile with a range of xylitol-based Mouthwash. Not all mouthwashes are the same—Naturally Sweet focuses on gentle, natural mouthwash options that prioritise clean, plant-based ingredients for effective oral care.

We focus on gentle, alcohol-free formulas that freshen breath while supporting everyday oral hygiene. With the presence of natural ingredients like xylitol and essential oils, these rinses embody the benefits of a natural mouthwash, offering antibacterial and breath-freshening properties without harsh chemicals.

Made with xylitol and clean, high-quality ingredients present in every bottle, these rinses are designed to complement brushing and flossing—not replace them—so you can feel confident about what goes in your mouth, every day.

Oral hygiene ingredient standards you can trust

We only range Mouthwash formulas that meet clear standards for everyday use:

• Alcohol-free for a gentler feel and better comfort if you experience dry mouth.

• Sweetened with xylitol rather than sugar; no saccharin-based aftertaste.

• Clean-label focus with straightforward ingredient lists and naturally derived flavours.

• Quality first: we prioritise reputable manufacturers and transparent labelling.

Why Xylitol in Mouthwash?

Xylitol is widely used in oral-care products because it doesn’t feed plaque bacteria. It is clinically proven to reduce bacteria and dental plaque, making it effective for promoting oral health. When used regularly in a rinse, xylitol helps prevent caries and cavities by supporting tooth enamel and reducing tooth decay. It helps create a less acidic environment in the mouth, supporting better breath and everyday tooth health as part of a good routine (brush, floss, then rinse), and plays a key role in preventing tooth decay.

Dentist-Friendly Choice

Alcohol-free formulas are often recommended for people with dry mouth, those wearing braces or aligners, and anyone who prefers a gentler option. Individuals at high risk of tooth decay or experiencing xerostomia (dry mouth) may benefit from Xylitol Mouthwash which is formulated to improve oral hydration, reduce discomfort, and provide antimicrobial benefits. These mouthwashes can help manage symptoms of dry mouth and support overall oral health. Our Mouthwash is designed for daily use by adults and supervised children over six.

Mouthwash that does more than freshen breath

These are not your ordinary rinses. The Mouthwash options on this page are selected to:

• Support a healthy oral environment by helping to reduce the ability of cavity-causing bacteria to stick to teeth (thanks to xylitol).

• Help neutralise acids after meals and snacks, a key step in protecting enamel.

• Deliver clean, long-lasting freshness with natural flavours such as peppermint and spearmint.

• Be kind to dry mouths by avoiding harsh alcohol that can strip moisture.

• Stay free from added sugar and artificial nasties—because sweetness should come from xylitol, not sugar.

• Contain antiseptic ingredients with antimicrobial activity to kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.

• Effectively reduce plaque and tartar, while protecting the tooth surface from decay and bacterial buildup.

• Help manage mouth ulcers and inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, supporting overall oral health.

• Encourage you to choose the best mouthwash for your individual oral health needs.

FAQs

What does Mouthwash actually do?

Mouthwash helps reach areas a toothbrush may miss, freshens breath, and can support plaque control. It complements brushing and flossing but doesn’t replace them. Mouthwash can also help prevent dental caries by reducing bacterial plaque and supporting healthy gums by reducing gum inflammation and helping to fight gum disease.

Should I use Mouthwash before or after brushing?

Either can work, but many dentists suggest using Mouthwash at a different time of day to extend the protective benefits of your toothpaste. If you prefer to rinse right after brushing, its best to wait for 30 minutes.

Is alcohol-free Mouthwash effective?

Yes. Alcohol-free formulas can freshen breath and support plaque control using xyltiol without the drying feel associated with alcohol.

Can Mouthwash replace brushing and flossing?

No. Mouthwash supports oral hygiene but does not mechanically remove plaque like brushing and flossing do.

How often should I use Mouthwash?

Most products are designed for once or twice daily use. Follow the label directions or your dentist’s advice.

Is Mouthwash safe for kids?

For children 6+ who can reliably spit, alcohol-free Mouthwash may be appropriate with adult supervision. Always check the label and consult your dentist for younger children.

Which Mouthwash is best for bad breath?

Look for formulas with zinc to target odour-causing compounds, plus xylitol and essential oils for freshness. Consistent brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning are essential. Choosing a mouthwash that also supports gum health can further help manage bad breath and maintain overall oral health.

Does Mouthwash help with dry mouth?

Alcohol-free, xylitol-based Mouthwash can be more comfortable and may encourage saliva flow. Persistent dry mouth should be discussed with your dentist or GP.

Is Mouthwash safe during pregnancy?

Alcohol-free Mouthwash is commonly used during pregnancy.
