Zephyrus Mouthwash Tabs

Despite being in the house by myself, the urge to have a one-person party was incredibly tempting after I found myself close to finishing this review. After nearly a month of constantly blogging and twenty different tooth/mouthwash tabs to work my way through, to have finished them all was a feeling worth celebrating, in my eyes. While these weren't my favourite mouthwash tabs by any means, Zephyrus were definitely a good choice to end up with last. 

Having already experienced the intensity of Supherb Toothy Tabs, I mistakenly left these little mouthwash tabs to last, only because they were a similar colour and therefore (I thought) a similar flavour. As it turned out, these mouthwash tabs couldn't have been further from the taste of the aforementioned toothy tabs and what I was left to finish with was something super fresh and naturally very beautiful. 

Containing Sicilian lemon and basil oils, the little green diamonds give off a wonderfully rich herbal smell, with a big dosage of lemon that rounds the fragrance off with a big bang. To my nose, the smell reminds me of a fresh lemonade that's been packed full of fresh basil leaves: it's crisp, refreshing and utterly gorgeous!

When popping one of these into your mouth, it takes mere seconds for a very intense but equally beautiful flavour to engulf your senses. The lemon oil brings about a bright, fruity element to the taste, which for a second or so is slightly bitter before it sweetens and settles in your mouth. Alongside this, the fresh taste of basil wraps around your tongue and offers a very natural herbal taste that compliments the lemon perfectly. I would never have envisaged that these two components would work well together as a mouthwash but they do, and they leave your mouth feeling really clean and fresh on top of this.

To use a solid mouth wash tab, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth, take a slurp of water and begin swishing. Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute. This allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.  

As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making all three of the mouthwash varieties have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they all contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.

Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol - a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

Sometimes Lush surprise me with their pairings and I honestly couldn't get enough of the Zephyrus Mouthwash Tabs. They clean your mouth out thoroughly, without burning your tongue or bringing about too much flavour; they leave your teeth feeling really shiny and clean; and they leave you with the cleanest breath I have experienced in a while.

Ultimately, these are definitely one of my favourite combinations from Lush and I would buy these again if I ever ran out. Perfect for the summer months, these little beauties would be great to slip in your bag when you're out enjoying a picnic. Not only would they leave your mouth and breath feeling super clean, but they wouldn't take away from the fresh feast you were enjoying at the time. Zephyrus are one of my favourite mouthwash tabs that Lush have ever created and they need to be made available for everybody.

Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs

Ever since Golden Pear appeared a few Christmases ago, the Lush community have become obsessed with anything and everything that shares the same scent. Bath bombs, shower jellies and body sprays are just three of the wonderful creations that have been brought about because of the popularity of this fragrance. So it was only natural that the company would incorporate this excitement into one of their latest mouthwash tabs.  

Perhaps the prettiest of the lot, Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs present themselves as little golden diamonds dusted with golden lustre, a feature that I should probably mention doesn't leave your mouth or teeth in the slightest bit glittery. Apologies for any readers that may have wanted their mouths to mimic a handful of golden nuggets: you're going to have to take up that issue with Lush themselves! 

Lush's description reads: Pairing detoxifying cardamom with soothing sandalwood, these little sparkly gems offer a warm and comforting bite of freshness, perfect for your next encounter. The words 'warm' and comforting are the perfect adjectives to describe these little beauties because they offer exactly that...and more!  

From the bottle, the familiar scent of Golden Pear Shower Jelly can be recognised immediately. A blend of orange oil, cardamom and sandalwood, the fragrance is a rich and very wholesome fruity aroma with the sandalwood wrapping itself around the orange like a warming blanket. The inclusion of both cardamom powder and oil also makes a huge impression on the scent: you can smell that intoxifying and very unique spice alongside the other elements, which mimics the fragrance of other Golden Pear scented products perfectly.

While this may not be helpful, I want to state that these mouthwash tabs taste exactly as you would expect them to. Fans of Golden Pear have no doubt fantasied about an edible rendition of their favourite scent and these mouthwash tabs do the perfect job at making this possible.

Slightly fruity, slightly woody and with a twist of warming cardamom, these mouthwash tabs taste like adult candy. The sandalwood really pairs well with the orange here, grounding it a little and removing some of the 'tang' that it possesses, and instead offers a taste that is very wholesome and comforting. Furthermore, the different complexities of these tabs overload your tastebuds with a beautifully rich, multi-dimensional flavour that sticks around for a long time after you've swished.

While there is nothing in the ingredients list to suggest why, there is also something very slightly Turkish delight-tasting about these tabs, which I happened to really appreciate and didn't think took away from the Golden Pear smell/taste at all. Ultimately, they're both rich and exquisite when being used, and everything you would hope them to be if you're a fan of this scent family.

To use a solid mouth wash tab, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth, take a slurp of water and begin swishing. Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute.

This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs immediately cleared my palette when I began to swish it around my mouth, and my teeth, tongue and gums were left feeling really smooth and clean afterwards. Even though they have a lot to offer in the way of flavour, they're definitely not the strongest mouthwash tabs available on the market. Yet, after using one, I felt confident that the smells of the food I had just eaten had been fully removed and the taste of the tab remained with me for an impressive amount of time afterwards.

To really test how powerful Golden Pear Mouthwash Tabs were, I used one of them straight after eating a meal that was absolutely saturated in a garlic dressing. Not only did the garlic all but vanish from my mouth within the first minute of swishing but the odd grimy feeling that I had on my teeth beforehand disappeared as well.

These are definitely a mouthwash tab that I would buy again in the future; that's if I ever manage to get through my impressive stash of ten bottles that I currently own. Fans of Golden Pear will not be able to fault these at all, and those who like interesting tastes will no doubt appreciate how wonderfully rich and exquisite these little golden diamonds are. Well done Lush!

Gospels Mouthwash Tabs

Over the last couple of years, Lush have branched out their ideas for new products, with a key focus being to create more naked cosmetics that will not only to reduce the carbon footprint of their customers, but do the same for themselves as a company as well. Their introduction of the solid mouthwash tabs was easily one of their most innovative concepts, and these little beauties have definitely made other companies think about the future of their brand as well. 

Gospels is one of a handful of Lush Showcase exclusive mouthwash tabs that have yet to hit the stores: still under the guise of prototype until the company decide what to do with them. Thanks to a wonderful member of the Lush community, I have managed to get my hands on a few of each to try, and I'm excited to say that these are just as delicious and effective as the releases we have seen so far.

While I'm yet to learn everything about this pastel pink gem, what I do know is that Gospels is made from a combination of rose, myrrh and geranium, which would automatically make you assume that the scent and taste of this one is going to be highly floral. What makes this limited edition so wonderful is that this is not the case at all. 

Smell wise, this mouthwash tab is actually fairly reserved and warming: the inclusion of the myrrh definitely adds a sweet, rounded base with a gentle resinous twinge. Both the geranium and the rose feature as well in fragrance, giving the tabs a slightly powdery floral aroma. From the bottle, I can see why these tabs might come across as quite intimidating as the fragrance is rather potent, and you'd be correct if you assumed this would also mean the taste was quite overwhelming.

As soon as I bit into one of these tabs, my mouth immediately flooded with a taste that somewhere between being really sweet and heavily floral. Both the davana and rose oils work in perfect unison here because had either ingredient been unbalanced, I can only imagine how disgusting these mouthwash tabs would have been.

Imagine the powdery, sweet rose taste of freshly made Turkish delight, with a sultry resinous flavour from the myrrh and yo may begin to understand what Gospels taste like. These are definitely a very acquired taste and one that many consumers may have to 'get used to' before they actually really enjoy these. I know that it took me multiple uses before I truly understood and appreciated the complexity and taste of these mouthwash tabs, and I can imagine that many other people will be the same.

To use a solid mouth wash tab, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth, take a slurp of water and begin swishing. Once you've finished, you then spit the water into the sink and your whole mouth should feel super clean and refreshed: ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath or food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. It's recommended that you keep the mouthwash in your mouth for a good minute. This allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.  

As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making all three of the mouthwash varieties have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they all contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time.

This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth, is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all, yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

Gospels Mouthwash Tabs immediately foamed up in my mouth and the results I experienced was a mouth that felt wonderfully clean and a tongue left without a single bad smell. No matter what you've eaten before using one, these limited editions will remove any unwanted smells and tastes immediately from your palette. However, you will need to be someone who'll appreciate the odd but rather sweet floral fragrance that remains in your mouth for a good couple of hours afterwards, otherwise the outcome of these tabs is pointless.

Ultimately, these mouthwash tabs do exactly what you'd expect them to and are the perfect accompaniment for short excursions and long trips away. They'll slip into a pocket or just about any space you have and can offer a quick solution for those moments when you feel like refreshing your oral health.  

As far as tastes go, I did eventually enjoy the flavour of these mouthwash tabs, although they were never one of my favourite tastes overall. While they worked wonders at cleansing my palette and leaving my teeth feeling super clean and shiny, there are far better tasting alternatives that I think I'd rather choose over Gospels, and for that reason I cannot imagine buying these again when there are so many other flavours on offer. 

Quantitative Ingredients: Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrous, Sodium Bicarbonate, Silica, Citric Acid, Sorbitol, Malic Acid, Glycerine, Organic Cold-pressed Grapeseed Oil, Stevia, Xylitol, Anthocyanin, Menthol Crystals, Rose Oil, Davana Oil, Labdanum Resinoid, Citronellal, Eugenol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Flavour, Colour 77491.

Spritz Mouthwash Tabs

As I get closer and closer to the end of my month-long journey reviewing toothy tabs, jelly toothpastes and solid mouthwash, I am finding myself becoming more and more impressed with just how many different flavours that Lush have managed to come up with. There is truly something for everybody here and I only hope that my surplus reviews will help to guide consumers into finding their  favourite one even quicker.

Whether you're after a more 'classic' tasting one; looking for a fruity one to match your personality; or wanting to step outside of your comfort zone and try something very different, Lush have got you covered with an impressive thirty brand new products to choose from. The mouthwash tab I am reviewing today is definitely one that I would recommend... 

Spritz's ingredients list was actually really interesting to me at first because I discovered that it contained a couple of ingredients that I'd never heard of before: both tincture of rhubarb and tincture of cinchona. Firstly, it's very rare to see Lush use rhubarb at all in their products and it happens to be one of my favourite tasting fruits on the planet. While these tabs don't taste exclusively of rhubarb, I was definitely able to appreciate the delicate notes of the fruit alongside the orange oil.

Secondly, before using these mouthwash tabs, I had never even heard of cinchona and had to look it up to see why Lush had decided to include it in this product. What I learnt was that cinchona was a tree that offered lots of amazing healing properties within its bark. Used in medicine to help remove many ailments related to the digestive tract, this ingredient also features a slightly bitter taste, which is predominantly why Lush have chosen to use this in these tabs, and you'll be able to experience this bitterness just after you spit this mouthwash out into the sink.

Taste wise, Spritz have a very fruity and slightly fizzy orangey taste, with the delicate bitterness that I mentioned above laying low until right at the end. In the bottle, Spritz offers what I'd describe as being a green layer as well, which seems to compliment the fruity scent quite a bit and brings out the natural sourness of the orange oil as well. 

Having said that, I didn't find that the taste of these mouthwash tabs were as complex as the smell was. Instead, you will experience much more of a sharp, zesty orange taste, with a soured twist at the end. In fact, this latter feature appears to leave an aftertaste that not only refreshens your mouth and cleans your tongue in the process, but also keeps your breath feeling and smelling clean for a good many hours afterwards. I really appreciated how strong the mouthwash tabs were able to perform, without them being at all potent on the tastebuds. This was definitely one of the most impressive aspects about these mouthwash tabs.

As soon as you grind one of these between your teeth and add the water to rinse and swish, the wonderfully sweet, fruity and delicately bitter taste fills your mouth and begins to work immediately. While all of the components I described above come out in the taste of the tab, there is nothing overwhelming about the taste of this mouthwash at all. In fact, there is something rather delicious about these little beauties that will leave you salivating (and perhaps a little hungry) afterwards.

For those who have never used a mouthwash tab before, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth (I prefer to do this with my front teeth), take a slurp of water and begin swishing as you would a bottled mouthwash. Once you've finished, you spit the water into the sink and you're ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath, or the food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. Lush recommend that you keep the mouthwash swishing around your mouth for a good minute before spitting it out, as this allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.

As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making Spritz have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.

Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol, a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth; is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all; yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

Whether you're popping out for a day at the beach; making a weekend trip to see the family; or jet-setting off to somewhere exciting, these 45g bottles can be tucked away with the assurance that you wont arrive at your destination with either soggy luggage, or with the lingering smells of your breakfast still festering on your tongue. Furthermore, they're also alcohol-free so these beauties wont cause you any issues when you're going through customs. No matter the length of your journey, these are handy to use at any time of the day: before you head out on your adventure; after a meal; or anytime you feel you need a little freshen up.

After using Spritz for a few days in a row, I could definitely feel the benefits of the mouthwash and my oral health was a credit to the product. After eating anything smelly, I would immediately use one of these and eradicate the smells/tastes within seconds. Despite it not being the most potent of flavours, these tabs do an amazing job and I would highly recommend them.

While perhaps not as interesting as Mandarin Fireworks, these mouthwash tabs have a delicious flavour; keep your mouth clean and free of nasty smells; and do it all without flooding your tastebuds with something that's too potent or overwhelming. I would definitely buy these again.

Quantitative Ingredients: Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrous, Sodium Bicarbonate, Silica, Citric Acid, Sorbitol, Malic Acid, Stevia, Xylitol, Gardenia Extract, Tincture Of Rhubarb, Tincture Of Cinchona, Brazilian Orange Oil, Menthol Crystals, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Citral,  Limonene, Linalool, Flavour, Colour 15510, Colour 77491, Colour 15850:1.

Top Gum Toothy Tabs

When it comes to cinnamon, just like Marmite, you either tend to love it or dislike it a lot. It's very easy to see a clear divide when it comes to Lush fans and their cinnamon-scented products, and I think this latest flavour of oral care might well divide the community in half. If you're not a fan of the sweet spice, I suggest you avoid these little tabs altogether.

Top Gum Toothy Tabs are described as a combination of 'cinnamon and clove bud to leave your gums feeling glorious and your teeth squeaky clean.' Despite the spice being my personal favourite, I was a little skeptical about how these little solid tabs were actually going to taste at the end of a long day, and to be honest I'm still not one hundred per cent sure how I feel about their taste.

From the bottle, you immediately get a strong and very fiery dose a cinnamon: like you're opening a brand new pot of the grounded spice for the first time and pressing your nose against the neck of the bottle to sniff. In fact, if anything I think that the smell of the toothy tabs is perhaps a little stronger than the original spice itself and this is down to the inclusion of the lemon oil that uplifts the cinnamon well.

Alongside this spice, Lush have also included a combination of clove bud and pimento been oils. The former ingredient makes a clear impression by adding a layer of warmth and spice alongside the cinnamon, while the latter ingredient rounds it off with a gentle sweetness to make the tabs a little more edible. There is also a delicate note of both allspice and pepper underneath, which offer a little more dry spice to the aroma and taste.

To use them you simply pop a tab into your mouth, crunch down using your front teeth, wet your toothbrush and begin to brush your teeth as normal. The powdery mixture reacts with the water and the cream of tartar creates a foam that freshens your mouth and cleans away any stubborn pieces of food that may be lingering around. Unlike some of Lush's other tabs I have tried, this one melts almost immediately upon contact with moisture and you won't need to crunch these at all.

As soon as you crunch the tab, a strong, dry and rather spicy combination of cinnamon and clove bud fills your mouth and removes any unwanted smells or tastes that you were experiencing a few minutes beforehand. While the taste wasn't strong enough to leave my tongue tingling, it did feel as if my mouth had been completely scrubbed clean, and I could really feel the difference that it made to my teeth as well. After brushing with one of these for two minutes, my teeth felt really shiny and clean and I truly felt a difference.

As with all of Lush's new toothy tabs, these particular tabs feature a number of ingredients that I was unsure about and had to research before trying them out for myself - not only to understand how and why Top Gum work but also to educate others about the benefits they possess. Firstly, these tabs feature  dicalcium phosphate anhydrous - the main component used to help supplement the body's calcium intake, not to mention preventing the build up of tartar in the mouth. Sorbitol is also used - a natural alternative to sugar which allows Lush to add flavour to this product without adding anything that'll rot your teeth; Lauroyl Sarcosine not only helps the product to foam up in the mouth, but is also used to remove unwanted bacteria that may cause problems in the future.

When it comes to Top Gum, the inclusion of the clove bud oil also helps to stimulate and soothe the inside of your mouth, so you can trust that you're getting a very thorough clean when using one of these. However, I found that the taste in my mouth afterwards was not as refreshing and clinical tasting as I usually like, and it didn't take very long before the affects of the tabs disappeared.

As with most of Lush's brand new range of toothy tabs, I did really enjoy using Top Gum for the few weeks that I did. However, aside from being more of a novelty idea (in my mind) I cannot see myself using these ones regular. I wholeheartedly love cinnamon and it's got nothing to do with the taste at all. However, the flavour just didn't feel like one I would want to use all of the time to brush my teeth with.

Quantitative Ingredients: Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrous, Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream Of Tartar (Potassium bitartrate), Sorbitol, Lauryl Sarcosine,  Kaolin, Xylitol, Clove Bud Oil, Sicilian Lemon Oil, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Pimento Berry Oil, Cinnamon Powder, Stevia, Whole Clove, Grains Of Paradise, Allspice Bernes, Long Pepper, Menthol Crystals, Colour 77491, Cinnamal, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citral, Eugenol, Limonene, Flavour.

Khoomei Mouthwash Tabs

Although it doesn't happen very often, there are moments when my mind goes completely blank when it comes to a familiar scent or taste. Especially when I know that a particular aroma comes from a product outside of Lush, it's near on impossible to narrow down where exactly I might have experienced it before. When it comes to Khoomei Mouthwash Tabs, I have spent near on a month trying to hunt the smell down, but to no avail as of yet...

What I will tell you about these Liverpool exclusives is that the smell they offer is near on identical to that of a regular chewing gum that you can purchase in licensed shops and supermarkets across the UK. They both smell and taste super delicious and are easily one of my favourite flavours from the extensive solid mouthwash range.

Containing lemongrass, cucumber, tea tree and spearmint, these tabs are super crisp and refreshing without being too potent, or indeed too overly minty. From the bottle, you get a sweet combination of lemongrass and spearmint, with the cucumber resting underneath, offering it's fresh and rather cooling aroma alongside the other notes. Interestingly, the lemongrass has lost quite a bit of its 'grassiness' in this format, so the smell of these tabs is a little more fruity than you might initially expect.

Alongside these notes, the inclusion of the coconut oil rounds off the smell with a delicate powdery note - which I think is what makes the fragrance of these mouthwash tabs so wonderful. You cannot actually taste the coconut at all here but its presence is definitely welcomed, and if you get a chance to try them you'll be able to recognise how this ingredient makes an impact.

Unlike many of Lush's minty oral products, Khoomei is not as potent on the senses and doesn't leave your mouth feeling at all scorched. However, what it does do is leave you with clean, fresh breath; wonderful shiny teeth; and a sweet, lemon-esque note that resides in your mouth for a good while after using one of these tabs.

As soon as you grind one of these between your teeth and add the water to rinse and swish, the wonderfully sweet, fruity and delicately minty taste fills your mouth and begins to work immediately. While all of the components I described above come out in the taste of the tab, there is nothing overwhelming about the taste of this mouthwash at all. In fact, there is something rather delicious about these little beauties that will leave you salivating (and perhaps a little hungry) afterwards.

For those who have never used a mouthwash tab before, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth (I prefer to do this with my front teeth), take a slurp of water and begin swishing as you would a bottled mouthwash. Once you've finished, you spit the water into the sink and you're ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath, or the food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. Lush recommend that you keep the mouthwash swishing around your mouth for a good minute before spitting it out, as this allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.

As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making Khoomei have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.

Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol, a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth; is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all; yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

No matter the length of your journey, these are handy to use at any time of the day: before you head out on your adventure; after a meal; or anytime you feel you need a little freshen up.

Ultimately, Khoomei Mouthwash Tabs are one of my favourites from the Lush range so far, and they are definitely a product that I will continue to use on an almost daily basis. These exclusives offer the perfect balance of taste and freshness and they're a genuine pleasure to use. Despite the rather boring demeanour that they offer, Khoomei are easily one of the most vibrant smelling and tasting oral care options from Lush. They step outside the box enough to bring something new to the table, without taking us too far from what we're looking for from a mouthwash.

Quantitative Ingredients: Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrous, Sodium Bicarbonate, Silica, Citric Acid, Glycerine, Sorbitol, Malic Acid, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Stevia, Xylitol, Menthol Crystals, Fine Sea Salt, Tea Tree Oil, Cucumber Extract, Lemongrass Oil, Spearmint Oil, Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Flavour.

Palma Violet Mouthwash Tabs

I think any child that loved the classic Palma Violet sweets grew into an adult knowing very few other people that felt the same. We were a rare bunch of weirdos: glad to take the odd, soapy-tasting sweets that were always discarded at the bottom of the bag. And it's because of these experiences that I feel as if Palma Violet fans are usually pretty obsessed with anything that smells or tastes remotely like the original candy.

Consumers will be very pleased to hear then that Lush's brand new Palma Violet Mouthwash Tabs smell and taste exactly like the original sweets. So much so that it's only a matter of time before someone comes forward proclaiming that they've eaten an entire bottle because of their lack of restraint.

Presented as beautiful little pastel purple diamonds and lightly dusted with silver lustre, these oral tablets are the perfect way to refreshen your breath. Containing both violet leaf absolute and bergamot oil, it is the former that makes the biggest impression. Sweet and powdery, the violet offers a delicate floral aroma with gentle notes of greenery, while the bergamot adds a gentle sweetness that ties it all together.

What I loved about these mouthwash tabs was that they also featured fresh pansies in the ingredients list, which no doubt added to the overall aroma as well as the wonderful taste that Palma Violet Mouthwash Tabs offered me each and every day. Needless to say, if you were never a fan of these classic sweets, I would avoid these tabs like the plague.

As soon as you grind one of these between your teeth and add the water to rinse and swish, the wonderfully musky taste of the violet comes out in full force, whilst still being subtle in the way that it does this. It is here that the bergamot comes out a little more prominently and I enjoyed the delicate grassy taste that I could detect on my tongue after I had spit the mouthwash into the sink.

For those who have never used a mouthwash tab before, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth (I prefer to do this with my front teeth), take a slurp of water and begin swishing as you would a bottled mouthwash. Once you've finished, you spit the water into the sink and you're ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath, or the food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. Lush recommend that you keep the mouthwash swishing around your mouth for a good minute before spitting it out, as this allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.

As you would expect from Lush, the ingredients that have gone into making Palma Violet have also been carefully crafted and serve a purpose. Firstly, they contain sodium bicarbonate, which is a natural softening ingredient that is also known for its ability to clean and deodorise at the same time. This is a key component that will help to clean your tongue, gums and teeth when you're swishing, and will help to rid your mouth of any strong odours that might be present at the time, freshening your breath in the process.

Each of the mouthwashes also contains xylitol, a natural substance that is found in certain fruits and vegetables and is used in foods and cosmetics as a refined sweetener. This ingredient has been proven to cause none of the harmful effects that sugar can have on the teeth; is perfect for diabetics as it doesn't effect blood sugar levels at all; yet offers the sweetness to help give these tabs their interesting but enjoyable flavours.

Whether you're popping out for a day at the beach; making a weekend trip to see the family; or jet-setting off to somewhere exciting, these 45g bottles can be tucked away with the assurance that you wont arrive at your destination with either soggy luggage, or with the lingering smells of your breakfast still festering on your tongue. Furthermore, they're also alcohol-free so these beauties wont cause you any issues when you're going through customs. No matter the length of your journey, these are handy to use at any time of the day: before you head out on your adventure; after a meal; or anytime you feel you need a little freshen up.

If you haven't guessed already, Palma Violet Mouthwash Tabs are more suited for those who enjoy a delicate cleaning of the palette, and these beauties definitely do that. After rinsing my mouth out, I was able to taste a wonderful but equally gentle sweet taste of violet. This stayed with me for all of my two hour gym session and probably would have lingered even longer if I hadn't eaten.

Having said that, the taste you're left with is very subtle, so if you're someone who enjoys a stronger experience you may wish to try one of Lush's other variations. These won't give you the strongest, freshest breath but they will leave your mouth clean of germs and smells. Not only did these mouthwash tabs give me a wonderful trip down memory lane but they've been my go-to mouthwash tabs for the last few weeks, which tells me that I will be investing in these again.

Zing! Mouthwash Tabs

If you're going to start your day off as you mean to go on, some times nothing less than bright pink mouthwash tabs will be suffice. Whether you have a sweet tooth; love everything that's the colour pink; or are simply bored stiff of your usual mouthwash, these brand new little tabs might just be what you're looking for.

Zing! describes perfectly how these tabs look and taste and once you have tried them you will no doubt agree with me. In fact, if you have any reluctant older children who don't find enjoyment in brushing their teeth, these might be the perfect tool for reigniting that excitement and getting some quality extra cleaning into their routine, after they have finished brushing their teeth.

Looking like a packet straight out of a sweet shop, these wonderful little tabs offer a bright and very fruity grapefruit note from the moment you remove the lid. Coupled with the juicy addition of the litsea cubeba oil, these mouth wash tabs really do look and smell like a packet of fruity candy. In all honesty, I would probably be happy to eat the whole tub because they are so tasty, even though I wouldn't even want to imagine what would be happening to my insides after doing so.

As to be expected, Zing! Mouthwash Tabs taste equally as delicious as well. Both of the aforementioned ingredients, along with the mandarin oil comes out in full force here and presents a slightly reserved rendition of the scent itself. As you have quite a few citrus fruits featured in the ingredients list, there is definitely something zesty and almost 'fizzy' about the taste of these tabs that I loved. However, consumers will no doubt notice that they are a little more powdery and perhaps a little less fruity than what the initial fragrance promises.

As soon as you grind one of these between your teeth and add the water to rinse and swish, you can already taste the amalgamation of flavours coming together in unison. During the swishing process, you cannot really gage much of the taste at all, only that your mouth is beginning to feel rather clean and refreshing in the process. However, as soon as you spilt the mouthwash out, the wonderful sherbet-like fruitiness fills your mouth and leaves a lasting impression. It was very much like eating dessert every time I used one of these tabs.

For those who have never used a mouthwash tab before, you simply crunch the tab between your teeth (I prefer to do this with my front teeth), take a slurp of water and begin swishing as you would a bottled mouthwash. Once you've finished, you spit the water into the sink and you're ready to brace the rest of the day without worrying about smelly breath, or the food from your lunch remaining stuck between your teeth. Lush recommend that you keep the mouthwash swishing around your mouth for a good minute before spitting it out, as this allows the ingredients to get to work at cleaning the mouth and deodorising the tongue so you get the maximum results possible.

No matter the length of your journey, these are handy to use at any time of the day: before you head out on your adventure; after a meal; or anytime you feel you need a little freshen up.

What I will say about Zing! is that these mouthwash tabs are not suitable if you're someone who likes to feel the refreshing sting of the flavour in your mouth immediately afterwards; those who enjoy feeling the fire of the ingredients burning away every germ and smell that could possibly have been living in your mouth at that very moment.

These tabs are more about leaving your mouth feeling refreshed and clean, without any noticeable nasty food odours remaining, whilst leaving behind a sweet and playful fruity taste instead of something too pungent and clinical. On a day-to-day basis, these would be better suited for freshening up after a meal at work or before a meeting; perhaps not the best choice if you want something super powerful before bed. Having said that, I happen to really like Zing! and I will continue using these whenever my sweet tooth needs to be reprimanded.
