HelloPharmacist Scorecard of XyliSwish Refreshing Peppermint by Buried Treasure Liquid Nutrients
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
XyliSwish has three active ingredients: xylitol, aloe vera, and purified silver in a proprietary blend. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used mainly for dental health — it's shown to help prevent cavities and may support ear health.
Aloe vera (the gel from the plant leaf) has been studied for skin conditions, wound healing, digestion, and blood sugar support, though the strength of evidence varies by use. The product also contains inactive ingredients: purified water, peppermint oil (for flavor), and nisin (a natural preservative).
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Xylitol is likely effective for preventing dental cavities, which aligns with what this mouthwash product is designed to do. It may be possibly effective for ear infections and dry mouth, though the evidence is less established.
For other uses (cystic fibrosis and Gulf War syndrome), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it. Aloe vera shows possibly effective evidence for acne, weight management, diabetes support, psoriasis, wound healing, and constipation.
That said, the strength of the research varies, and oral aloe (especially the latex) carries safety concerns that limit how it's typically used.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Xylitol is generally well tolerated in typical food amounts, though high doses (30–40 grams) can cause digestive upset — bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Topically it may sting mucous membranes slightly.
Important: xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, so keep this product away from pets. Aloe gel applied to skin is generally well tolerated, but oral aloe latex carries real risks.
It can cause abdominal pain, cramping, and diarrhea; long-term overuse may lead to low potassium, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat. Aloe is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy (may stimulate the uterus) and possibly unsafe while breastfeeding (limited safety data and laxative effects).
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking XyliSwish, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use digoxin or other heart drugs (Major risk from aloe), blood thinners like warfarin or other anticoagulants (Moderate risk), diabetes medications (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), diuretics (Moderate risk of low potassium), stimulant laxatives (Moderate risk), or drugs broken down by the CYP1A2 enzyme (Minor risk). Aloe can affect how these work or increase side effects.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This mouthwash may help protect your teeth (xylitol's proven benefit), but if you take heart medications, blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or diuretics, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first because of aloe's interaction potential. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should also discuss it with their healthcare provider before use.
For those without those concerns, it's generally well tolerated at normal use levels.

XyliSwish Refreshing Peppermint by Buried Treasure Liquid Nutrients Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
XyliSwish Refreshing Peppermint by Buried Treasure Liquid Nutrients contains aloe vera, which interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with digoxin (a heart drug) — aloe can increase the risk of toxicity, especially if overused. Aloe also carries Major risk with blood thinners and several other drug types at Moderate severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The Moderate-severity interactions span anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs (increased bleeding risk), diabetes medications (risk of low blood sugar), diuretics (risk of low potassium), stimulant laxatives (fluid and electrolyte loss), and warfarin specifically (increased bleeding through diarrhea). There is also a Minor interaction with certain drugs metabolized by the enzyme CYP1A2, where aloe may reduce their effectiveness.
Xylitol, the other active ingredient we checked, has no interactions documented in our data. We could not check purified silver — we hold no interaction data for it.

Read the full Aloe Vera + Aspirin interactionEach ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects
For each ingredient in XyliSwish Refreshing Peppermint with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Aloe vera
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with cardiac glycosides.
Overuse of aloe latex can increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycoside drugs, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion. Overuse of aloe, along with cardiac glycoside drugs, can increase the risk of toxicity.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, aloe gel might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aloe gel can inhibit platelet aggregation. This inhibition was greater than that seen with celecoxib, but less than that seen with aspirin.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Aloe might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests aloe gel might lower blood glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of aloe latex might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss, increasing the risk of hypokalemia.
Stimulant Laxatives
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with stimulant laxatives.
Due to cathartic laxative effects of aloe latex, concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Aloe latex has stimulant laxative effects. In some people aloe latex can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of aloe vera.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, aloe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that aloe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
