Common questions

Is Listerine 250 healthy?

Listerine 250 scores 21/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

What is in Listerine 250?

Listerine 250 lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Alcohol, Sorbitol, Poloxamer 407 and Benzoic Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Listerine 250 contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Listerine 250’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Listerine 250?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Listerine 250 yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Listerine 250 compare to other oral care?

At 21/100 Listerine 250 scores worse than most oral care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in oral care is Dr. Bronner's Toothpaste Whitening Spearmint 70% Organic at 90/100.
