According to the 2024 product website "A family tradition since 1894, Glyco-Thymoline (Glyco) is the original alkaline mouthwash and gargle. For over a century, physicians and dentists around the world have recommended Glyco as an important part of a good oral health program. Glyco can be used as a spray, rinse or gargle, diluted or full strength, as often as desired."

"Glyco-Thymoline was developed as a mouthwash by pharmacists Samuel Owen and Oscar Kress in the 1890's. Throughout the twentieth century it was promoted widely to treat mouth and skin irritations. For an eyewash, 10 to 30 drops of Glyco-Thymoline were diluted in warm water in the eye bath."
