Peppermint Mouthwash

Mouthwash really is a life saver, especially if you have a fancy electric toothbrush. With those things, there’s no such thing as a quick brush. The toothbrush really just owns you, and you’re a slave to its two-minute timer. So, for those moments when you need a quick refresh for your breath, this Peppermint Mouthwash does just the trick. It’s also insanely simple and portable (just carry your vial of Peppermint around with you), so you could use it at work after a few too many raw onions at lunch, or pop it in your purse and use it mid-date.

There’s just one thing to know: do not swallow it. Like any other mouthwash, the goal is not to ingest it, and since essential oils are super concentrated, we recommend following standard procedure.
