Two years in the making, and worth every minute. Before's Brilliant Breath MouthWash is the brand's first foray into mouthwash - and it arrives with the same uncompromising ingredient standard that defines every Before product. No alcohol, no artificial colours, no synthetic flavours, no unnecessary additives. Just a clean, effective formula built around hyaluronic acid, xylitol, zinc, vitamin C, aloe vera, green tea extract, and coconut oil to freshen breath, support gum health, and actively contribute to a balanced oral microbiome rather than simply masking the problem.
The 473ml bottle delivers meaningful value for a daily-use product, and the SuperMint flavour - peppermint oil and menthol - ensures a genuinely fresh, long-lasting result that holds up through meetings, meals, and whatever else the day has in store. Vegan, Leaping Bunny certified, and proudly made in Vancouver, Canada. A natural complement to any Before toothpaste in the routine.
Who's It For
Anyone looking to add a genuinely clean mouthwash to their oral care routine - whether that's rounding out a full Before system or upgrading from an alcohol-based conventional mouthwash that leaves the mouth dry and irritated. Particularly well-suited to those with sensitive gums, dry mouth, or anyone who wants their mouthwash to actively support oral health rather than just temporarily freshen breath.

How To Use
Pour approximately 20ml into the cap or a cup. Rinse thoroughly around the mouth for 30-60 seconds. Spit out - do not swallow. Use after brushing, morning and night, or as needed throughout the day for breath freshness. For best results, pair with your preferred Before toothpaste as part of a complete oral care routine.
Why MASC Recommends This
Most conventional mouthwashes rely on alcohol and synthetic antibacterial agents to do the job - which works, but at the cost of drying out oral tissue and disrupting the natural oral microbiome over time. The Brilliant Breath formula takes a more considered approach: hyaluronic acid and aloe vera maintain tissue hydration throughout, xylitol and zinc citrate address bacteria without the collateral damage of alcohol, and green tea extract and vitamin C add genuine antioxidant depth. For anyone who has been looking for a mouthwash that fits the same clean standard as the rest of their grooming routine, Before has built it.
