Suitable Colorants for Mouthwash

These colorants are often designed to be "EasyWash™", meaning they are less likely to stain surfaces, and are resistant to fading, which are beneficial properties for mouthwash.

When selecting a colorant, ensure it is approved for use in oral care products in your region and follow recommended usage rates.
