Water Type for Mouthwash Production

Regarding the water used in mouthwash production, while product labels often list just "Water," the water used in manufacturing cosmetic and pharmaceutical products like mouthwash is typically purified water.

Regular drinking water contains minerals, impurities, and potential microorganisms that can affect the stability, quality, and safety of the final product. Therefore, manufacturers usually use purified water, such as distilled water, deionized water, or water treated by reverse osmosis, which meets specific purity standards.

These standards are often required by good manufacturing practices (GMP) to ensure the consistency and safety of the product. So, while the label simplifies it to "Water," it refers to water that has undergone purification processes suitable for product manufacturing, not standard drinking water.
