Why Use LISTERINE®?
Home

OUR FOUR ESSENTIAL OILS

In 1879, two scientists-Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Pharmacist Jordan Lambert—joined forces to create LISTERINE®, a powerful formula made from four essential oils. More than 100 years later, those same four essential oils combine to pack a powerful punch against hard-to-reach plaque and germs that can cause bad breath and gum problems. No other branded mouthwash offers this unique, four-ingredient formula that penetrates to reduce plaque in depth and help keep your mouth clean and healthy. Our fixed combination of eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate, and thymol continues to deliver results.
