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.

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.

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.

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.
