Retardex Oral Rinse is alcohol-free, colourless and does not contain sugar or any artificial sweeteners.  Being pH-balanced, it is kind to your teeth and gums and is safe and gentle for everyday use.  RetarDEX Oral Rinse is also effective against fighting plaque.  Unflavoured, but contains a fresh mint flavour sachet if desired.  In even the cleanest mouth, odour-causing molecules known as Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSCs) are constantly being produced by the natural breakdown of bacteria and human cells.  Ordinary toothpastes and mouthwashes only cover up these compounds with a more pleasant smell of flavour for a few minutes.  The VSCs are still there, causing odour in the mouth.  However, the Closys II ingredient in Retardex Oral Rinse toothpaste, oral rinse and spray actually breaks the molecular bonds to destroy the odour-causing VSCs.
