An oral rinse, commonly known as mouthwash, is a liquid solution used to improve oral hygiene. It helps reduce bacteria, dislodge food particles, and freshen breath, as well as can deliver therapeutic agents for specific conditions such as preventing cavities, reducing plaque, or managing gum inflammation. These products are an important part of a comprehensive daily oral care routine, supplementing the mechanical cleaning provided by brushing and flossing to reach areas that are otherwise difficult to access.

The oral rinse market is a vibrant segment within the broader oral care industry, characterized by continuous innovation and diverse product offerings designed to meet varied consumer needs. Key factors influencing this market include rising consumer awareness of oral health's link to overall wellness, a growing prevalence of oral diseases, and an increasing demand for specialized and natural formulations. The competitive landscape is shaped by established global players as well as agile regional brands, all striving to differentiate their products through unique benefits, advanced ingredients, and effective marketing across various distribution channels, including traditional retail and rapidly expanding online platforms.
