Mouthwash formulation based on wild olive Extract “olea europaea sylvestris”

Problem Statement: Conventional mouthwashes often contain antimicrobial chemical agents and other synthetic compounds, which may potentially present long-term health risks.
Solution: In response to the growing demand for natural products, the objective of this project is to develop an innovative mouthwash based on wild olive leaf extract, providing a natural alternative to traditional chemical mouthwashes. This product aims to meet the expectations of health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers while leveraging the therapeutic properties of the plant and enhancing the potential of local plant resources.
Results: The findings suggest that wild olive leaf extract exhibits significant antibacterial activity against both pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains, with variable efficacy depending on:
The bacterial species
Their sensitivity to the extract
The diffusion degree of the antibacterial agent and the growth rate of microorganisms
