Desert Essence Coconut Oil Rinse, 8 fl oz

Desert Essence Coconut Oil Rinse is a dual-phase oil-pulling rinse for adults. The pictured 8 fl oz bottle combines coconut, sesame and sunflower oils in its upper phase with a water-based lower phase containing aloe, spearmint, wintergreen and tea tree oils.

A dual-phase oil-pulling format

Labeled Coconut Oil Dual Phase Pulling Rinse on the package, this product is inspired by the traditional practice of oil pulling. Its oil and water-based layers are mixed by shaking before use, then gently swished and pulled between teeth and gums.

This is not the brand's separate Coconut Oil Mouthwash. Use the pulling-rinse directions below rather than a 30-second mouthwash schedule. It is not intended to replace regular brushing and flossing.

Coconut, sesame and sunflower oils

The top phase contains sunflower seed oil, sesame seed oil and virgin coconut oil, each marked certified organic in the published ingredient list. The lower phase includes aloe, zinc citrate, xylitol, horsetail extract and witch hazel alongside mint and tea tree oils.

Sesame oil is part of this formula, not just coconut oil. Review the complete ingredients against your personal sensitivities before choosing it for your oral-care routine.

Adult-only directions and warnings

For adult use only. Shake well for 10–15 seconds. Pour a capful into your mouth and gently swish and pull between teeth and gums. The manufacturer directs starting with 3 minutes and working up to 20 minutes for best results.

Spit the rinse into a garbage pail, not the sink, as oils may solidify in cooler temperatures. Do not ingest. If you accidentally swallow product, contact a healthcare provider immediately. Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. This product is not intended as a replacement for regular brushing and flossing.
