Polysorbates are use as emulsifiers to keep mixtures like toothpaste even and stable. But they are not a part of the mouthrinse chemistry. I am curious to know what the concern is about. Best wishes.

I've read mouthwashes w/alcohol can do more harm than good. The brand I've used lately contains alcohol & I've noticed my mouth feels drier & gums/tongue/inside of cheeks feel irritated. I've stopped using it. How long for mouth to heal/feel better?
