**Definition:** A mouthwash consisting of the natural bacteria-derived tetrahydropyrimidine and extremolyte ectoine, with potential hydrating and anti-inflammatory activities.

Ectoine may also reduce inflammation of the mucosal lining of the oral cavity through its various actions on the inflammatory cytokines such as interleukins (IL) 6 (IL-6) and 8 (IL-8), the ceramide signaling pathway, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.
