Oral Rinse Smooth Mint

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

CVS Health Oral Rinse Smooth Mint scores 54/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

CVS Health Oral Rinse Smooth Mint lists 10 ingredients, starting with Water, Glycerin, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium Edta and Sodium Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 54/100 CVS Health Oral Rinse Smooth Mint lands mid-scale — below the typical score in mouthwash, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in mouthwash is GuruNanda Sesame Mint Oil Pulling Mouthwash at 100/100.
