A wide shelf: 443 containers and 206 closures, with one specific thing the regulation asks for that is not here.

The shelf, measured

Four hundred and forty-three containers from 50 to 500 mL with 206 closures. By material 322 PET and 121 HDPE. The dominant necks are 24-410 at 196, 38-400 at 70, 20-410 at 64 and 45-400 at 44.

The forms

118 packers, 109 Boston rounds, 74 cylinder rounds, 73 cosmo and bullet, 14 modern rounds, 14 oblong and diamond, 13 ovals and 11 specialty bottles. A genuinely broad choice of shapes at these sizes.

Material against the formula

PET is clear and cheap and fine for an alcohol-free rinse. HDPE is tougher and more tolerant of a high flavor-oil load, which is the harder case. For a strongly flavored alcoholic rinse, HDPE or glass is the safer starting point.

Color

120 white, 96 clear, 81 amber, 40 blue, 37 natural, 27 black, 22 green and 16 dark amber. Clear shows the liquid, which a mouthwash is usually merchandised on, and amber is there for anything light sensitive.

The closures

135 continuous thread, 39 lotion pumps, 11 treatment pumps, 7 buttress, 5 phenolic, 3 foamer pumps, 3 dome lids, 2 lug and twist and one specialty. Pumps are well represented, and they are all screw-on.

Which is the gap that matters here

The mouthwash exemption requires a nonremovable pump dispenser. Measured across the whole catalog, nothing matches non-removable, nonremovable, crimp or locking, so that exemption cannot be assembled from our parts.

And there is no child-resistant closure on this shelf either

None of the 206. The catalog holds 71 across ten neck finishes, including 24-410 with 15 and 38-400 with 11, which are the two biggest finishes here. Shop them directly and match by full notation.

16 CFR 1700.14(a)(22), Mouthwash. Preparations containing 3 g or more of ethanol in a single package require special packaging, except products with nonremovable pump dispensers containing at least 7 percent weight-to-weight mint or cinnamon flavoring oils, dispensing no more than 0.03 grams of absolute ethanol per actuation, and containing less than 15 grams of ethanol in a single unit. The paragraph defines mouthwash to include mouthrinses, oral antiseptics, gargles, fluoride rinses, anti-plaque rinses and breath fresheners, and to exclude throat sprays and aerosol breath fresheners. law.cornell.edu

Written from federal regulation and from measured catalog data, not from a formulation bench. Whether a product crosses the ethanol or fluoride thresholds is a calculation about your formula and your fill, and whether a pump satisfies the exemption is a question for the pump manufacturer. Nothing here certifies a package.
