    TheraBreath’s Dazzling Mint Whitening Rise is gentle on teeth

    TheraBreath Dazzling Mint Whitening Rinse

    TheraBreath is debuting a new whitening rinse that is not only gentle on teeth but tough on unsightly stains.

    New from the brand is the Dazzling Mint Whitening Rinse, which the company attacks discoloration with solubilizers that loosen stains. It contains a natural enzyme that works with saliva to dissolve stains and has an oxidizer to whiten teeth, the company said.

    In addition, the rinse also forms a protective barrier that helps to resist and defend against common sources of stains such as coffee, tea and wine.

    Retailing for $10.95, TheraBreath’s Dazzling Mint Whitening Rinse is available for purchase online and at major retailers nationwide.

    RxBar is kicking off fall a little early by releasing three of its popular seasonal flavors for a limited time.

    The Chicago-based company shared that its pumpkin spice, pecan and gingerbread flavors, which were inspired by decadent delights and smells, contain egg whites for 12 g of protein, dates to bind and nuts for texture.

    “The back half of the year, especially the last few months, can be filled with a variety of B.S. that our fans have to manage,” said Carly Smith, senior associate brand manager for RxBar. “These bars are anything but basic, and we hope each nostalgic flavor helps eliminate any added stress or drama the season might bring along.”

    Priced at $2.79 per bar, $9.99 per 4-pack and $25.99 for a 12-pack, RxBar’s pumpkin spice flavor is now available for purchase online and at select retail stores nationwide. The gingerbread and pecan bars will be available for purchase beginning Sept. 20.
