Grit Guard Oil-Pulling Mouthwash – 8 fl oz
A unique blend of castor oil, coconut oil, peppermint oil, and clove oil for a healthy microbiome.
How Oil Pulling Actually Works
Lipophilic Adhesion: Our lipid-rich formula acts as a molecular magnet, binding to the fatty outer membranes of harmful oral bacteria.
Biofilm Disruption: The hydrodynamic shear force of swishing emulsifies plaque, detaching sticky bacterial colonies that standard water-based rinses simply miss.
Viscosity-Trapping Technology: High-viscosity castor oil creates a microscopic "net," suspending neutralized toxins in the fluid so they are fully expelled.
Microbiome Stabilization: Unlike alcohol-based mouthwash, our selective antimicrobial blend targets pathogens while preserving the beneficial flora your mouth needs.

Stop "clear-cutting" your microbiome with alcohol. We’ve engineered a selective rinse that targets pathogens while feeding your protective flora.
Science-Backed Ingredients
Fractionated Coconut (Lauric Acid): Targets and breaches the lipid membranes of decay-causing S. mutans bacteria to prevent cavities.
Clove Bud Oil (Eugenol): A clinical-grade phenolic compound that neutralizes oxidative stress and soothes gum tissue inflammation.
Peppermint Oil (Menthol): Disrupts the metabolic signaling of anaerobic bacteria, the primary biological cause of chronic bad breath.
Castor Seed Oil (Ricinoleic Acid): Creates high-viscosity "shear force" to emulsify and detach stubborn plaque biofilm from enamel surfaces.
Testimonials
-
"I’m a bit of a health nerd and track everything. I've been using this for 30 days straight. I didn't see a massive change on day 1, but by week 3, the plaque buildup behind my bottom teeth (my 'trouble spot') was visibly reduced. It’s not a 'quick fix' bleach, but my teeth look naturally polished and my gums are a healthy pink again."
-
“I’ve tried oil pulling on and off over the years, but this is the first time it’s been easy enough to do consistently. It's subtle when you swish, but my mouth feels very close afterwards, and the freshness last a long time”
-
"I’ll be honest, I thought oil pulling was total 'woo-woo' until my dentist mentioned my gum inflammation. This doesn't have that gross 'heavy' oil feeling. I've been doing it while I shower for two weeks and my morning breath is... well, it's actually gone."
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth to remove bacteria and promote oral hygiene. Grit Guard uses a premium blend of oils that act as a natural magnet, pulling plaque and toxins from your teeth and gums for a deeper clean than traditional mouthwash.
-
While traditional methods suggest 20 minutes, Grit Guard is formulated for efficiency. We recommend swishing for 2 to 10 minutes daily. This is long enough to support your oral microbiome without the jaw fatigue associated with DIY coconut oil pulling.
-
Yes! Oil pulling helps remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, and food by dissolving oil-soluble biofilms on the tooth surface. Regular use of Grit Guard can lead to a brighter, whiter smile without the sensitivity caused by harsh chemical bleaching agents.
-
Many users find that oil pulling reduces gum inflammation and redness. By removing the bacteria (like Streptococcus mutans) that cause plaque buildup, Grit Guard supports the natural healing process of your gums and helps maintain a balanced oral microbiome.
-
Plain coconut oil can be messy, thick, and tasteless. Grit Guard is a "Grit-Free" formulated rinse that combines the benefits of coconut oil with essential oils for a refreshing taste and thinner consistency that is easier to swish and more effective at targeting bad breath.
-
Yes. Grit Guard is non-abrasive and alcohol-free, making it safe for those with fillings, crowns, and veneers. Because it uses natural oils to lift bacteria rather than harsh chemicals or acidic ingredients, it won’t degrade dental adhesives or materials.
-
For the best results, we recommend using Grit Guard first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, before brushing. This allows the oil to "pull" the bacteria that accumulated overnight. Once you spit the oil out, brush as usual to remove any remaining debris.
-
While Grit Guard is made with natural, food-grade ingredients, you should avoid swallowing the liquid. The purpose of oil pulling is to trap bacteria and toxins in the oil; swallowing it would mean ingesting those toxins back into your body. Always spit into a trash can (not the sink) when finished.

Most commercial mouthwashes use alcohol to "kill" 99% of bacteria, which sounds good but actually destroys your mouth's healthy microbiome and causes dryness. Grit Guard is alcohol-free and works by mechanically removing harmful bacteria while leaving the beneficial "good" bacteria intact, leading to long-term gum health and fresh breath without the burn.
