The word inactive does not mean NOT ACTIVE to the tissues.

The FDA requires an "active" ingredient show therapeutic actions via studies etc.

The category "inactive" means there is no claim that these ingredients are therapeutic in any way. There are some OTC products that have some inactive listings containing substances that do have some actions in the body.
It is confusing, unfortunately.

Salicylic acid is found in acne products, and used by dermatologists to remove dead or infected skin topically.

Here is the oral rinse I used for a couple yrs and the ingredient listing is like day/night, black/white....without the Green dye. Since using CO toothpaste I don't need a rinse.

I have lost faith in our govt agencies like the CDC, ADA, FDA who all do stamps of approval on toxic chemicals to put in our bodies. Thank goodness for the alternative world of medicine. The CDC loves fluoride in our waters.

Look at this ingredient too: Saccharin

Tests 40 yrs ago linked this sweetener to cancer.

Mrs. D.,

Exactly... that's why I posted them. The term inactive is often misunderstood to mean insignificant.

Thanks for offering the clarification of the term inactive ingredients.

Be well,
Bryanna

Isn't sodium benzoate said to be a potential carcinogen?
That is a long and concerning list of ingredients.
I would consider going with something more natural.

"Isn't sodium benzoate said to be a potential carcinogen?"

I am not sure - it is listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.

I can't find anything in PubMed which suggests that there is any evidence that it is a carcinogen.

However, I take what I think might be your general point - when I brush my teeth I (as mrsD suggested above) just rinse my mouth with water rather than with Listerine or any other commercial product.

Oh interesting from LA Times on the skinnygirl drink. I watched the reality show when she was producing it. Never bought it...not my choice.

http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep...zoate-20110908

Give me the great coconut oil for my mouth health. Just heard from my 19 yr old grandgirl that she is now doing oil pulling. She's become so aware so young..so much info to learn and go with. She ended up with fluorosis from fluoirde baths from dentist>>>> and she's eliminating gluten and has gotten rid of a longterm acne.
