Description

A botanical mouthwash concentrate for fresh breath and everyday oral care.

Herbs the Word Mouthwash is a concentrated herbal oral rinse made with sage, myrrh, yerba mansa, calendula, peppermint, clove, and xylitol to support a balanced mouth while freshening breath. Just a small amount mixed with water creates an invigorating rinse that leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

Unlike conventional mouthwashes that rely on harsh antiseptics or artificial flavors, Herbs the Word is handcrafted with botanicals traditionally used to support oral wellness. Because it's concentrated, one bottle goes a long way while creating less packaging waste.

Great for:
Freshening breath
Everyday oral care
Supporting healthy gums
After brushing or flossing
Coffee drinkers
Anyone looking for a botanical alternative to conventional mouthwash

Ritual

Add about ¼–⅓ dropperful (less for kiddos) to a small glass of water. Swish for 30–60 seconds after brushing, then spit.

Use morning and evening or whenever your mouth could use a botanical refresh.

Details
Let's concentrate. The health of your yapper says a lot about the health of the whole bod. Your mouth is one of the first places your body meets the world, so we like giving it a little botanical backup.

Since Herbs the Word is made with real plant extracts instead of synthetic dyes or artificial flavors, you may notice natural cloudiness or tiny bits of plant material. That's completely normal—and proof that your potion is made from actual plants.

Best for:
Everyday mouthwash users
Botanical oral care routines
Sensitive mouths looking for a gentler alternative
Freshening breath after meals
Anyone wanting a concentrated, low-waste mouthwash

Not ideal for:
Replacing brushing and flossing
Those sensitive to peppermint or clove essential oils

Packaging is an Ingredient
Amber Glass Bottle
With Foam-lined Aluminum Lid
Once empty: Clean bottle, separate lid, remove foam liner (check with your local recycling center if they accept foam recyclables). Once confirmed, place all components in the recycling bin or take them to your local recycling facility.

Glass Dropper Top
Once used: Gently (so the glass doesn't break) wiggle the glass piece apart from the lid. It should pop out & separate cleanly. This part is 100% glass so it can be recycled wherever you recycle glass. The plastic piece can be sent back to us once you have collected a few to safely and responsibly recycle with Terracycle.
FAQ
What makes this different from regular mouthwash?
Herbs the Word is a concentrated botanical mouthwash made with herbal extracts traditionally used for oral care. You dilute it with water before use, so one bottle lasts much longer than a ready-to-use rinse.
Does it contain alcohol?
The botanical extracts are prepared using high-proof spirits, but only a small amount of concentrate is diluted into water before use.
How much do I use?
Mix about ¼–⅓ dropperful into a small glass of water before swishing.
Can I use it every day?
Absolutely. Herbs the Word is formulated for everyday oral care and can be used morning and evening after brushing.
Why is my mouthwash cloudy?
Real plant extracts naturally vary from batch to batch. Some cloudiness or tiny botanical particles are completely normal and don't affect quality.
Does it replace brushing my teeth?
No. Herbs the Word is designed to complement brushing, flossing, and regular dental care—not replace them.
Does it taste like mint?
Peppermint provides a fresh cooling finish, while sage, myrrh, clove, and other botanicals create a complex herbal flavor that's refreshing without relying on artificial flavoring.
