In context to that Triclosan, Sauguinarine is a safe alternative (mouthwash Viadent (USA) Perioguard (UK) Sanguinarine, alkaloids, main a bioactive component of bloodroot, Sanguinaria Canadensis L., is a member of Papaveraceae family. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antiplaque agent. Part of its appeal would be that it is a natural therapeutic product, as distinct from a 'synthetic' or 'artificial' chemical.
