Mediocre Mouthwash.

Did you know that your mouthwash can be harming the Environment? There is plant killing chemicals in it that flow back into the ocean also killing underwater life. A few damaging chemicals in it are formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, polysorbate, and Cetylpyridinium Chloride. What a mouthful; each one of these chemicals somehow manage to make sea creatures suffer, until they actually die. A great alternative to mouthwashes, that is very eco-friendly, is a saltwater gargle. You just add as much salt as you can to a glass of water until it can no longer dissolve. Then swish around in your mouth for about 30 seconds and spit. This is also a great teeth whitener. Now if you aren't too fond of saltwater then you can either try these mouthwash recipes or this mouthwash. A special thank you to Green Living Tips, for the information. Have a nice day! Don't forget to stop and smell the beautiful flowers this Spring!
