Escape to a tropical paradise and relax on the warm sand as you feel the ocean breeze in your hair. It's here where the taste of sweet coconut and spicy ginger combine for a fusion that will stimulate your senses. Our Coconut Ginger mouthwash is flavored with the natural sweetness of coconut oil and spicy ginger from real ginger root extract that gives it some "bite", leaving your mouth feeling invigorated and refreshed. What's in the bottle? All Nature's Artisan mouthwashes are made with an organic aloe vera base which soothes and hydrates the mouth, along with a beneficial blend of natural flavors and essential oils.Our Coconut Ginger variety includes:• Coconut oil • Ginger Root oil.Why xylitol?Your mouth contains millions of bacteria. When you eat sugary foods and carbohydrates the food adheres to your teeth, providing the perfect environment for bacteria to feed and multiply. So what does this mean? As the bacteria consume the food, they in turn produce acids that break down the enamel of your teeth, and volatile sulfur compounds which cause bad breath. Many commercial mouthwashes combat this by using alcohol, an antiseptic, to kill the bacteria. What these companies tend to ignore is that bacteria are inherent to humans; they are always present, whether in our guts or in our mouths; so the key to a healthy mouth is symbiotic balance, not chemical warfare! This means the use of alcohol is actually counterproductive as it leads to a dry mouth which becomes a breeding ground for excess bacteria to thrive. At Nature's Artisan we think every ingredient should have a positive purpose, so we looked for something better. Rather than trying to kill the bacteria, why not starve it instead? Enter xylitol. Xylitol cannot be broken down by bacteria like regular sugar can, yet its sweet taste still elicits a salivary response. The natural enzymes in our saliva then work together with xylitol to form a protective coating which greatly reduces bacterial growth.
