Sodium Saccharin
Ingredient Info
Sodium saccharin is an artificial sweetener commonly used in oral care products like mouthwashes to improve taste. It is not typically found in skincare products and has no known skincare benefit.
Potential concerns
- Not intended for skincare use
- May cause irritation if ingested in large amounts
- Some consumers prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners
Science: Sodium saccharin is well-established in dental care formulations. Research shows it is generally safe at concentrations used in oral products (0.5% or lower). However, the scientific literature reviewed focuses on mouthwash applications, not skincare; its use in skincare products would be unusual and unnecessary.
