About a month ago Lush revealed that they were going to be releasing solid mouthwash.
This may seem weird to most but Lush is a company renowned for innovation in the beauty industry, having already released toothy tabs and powders as solid tooth paste we shouldn't really be surprised this was somewhere up their sleeves.
The mouthwashes come in 3 flavours, Pan galactic gargle blaster, creme de menthe and ugai. The flavours cover a range of different tastes lemon, mint and a green tea, sea salt number.
The green lustre from the creme de menthe ones went on the other two but you can see that they all have a different colour.
The first one is 'Pan galactic gargle blaster'
Invented to banish the age of boring mouthwash, packed with zesty lemon oil, quinine and aniseed to refresh the palette. Designed to give your mouth an 'out of this world' feeling.
I really enjoyed this one, it was very pleasant and reminiscent of sherbet lemon and I would definitely buy these in a full size bottle.
They even made it go into outer space 😜
The middle mouthwash tab is the 'creme de menthe'. This one is the most like a a traditional mouthwash. Peppermint is the thing making it super cooling and fresh.
I found, much like the toothy tabs, the first taste you get is a slightly bitter bicarbonate taste but as soon as you start nibbling the mint rushes at you . I'll admit I wasn't fully prepared for it, but it was very pleasant after the initial slap round the chops. I really enjoyed not having the alcohol burn. If you're sensitive to that powerful, stripping feeling then these are a god send!
The white tabs are called 'Ugai' these seem to have the most complicated flavour palette. Inspired by Shinto the Japanese concept of cleanliness. They have a brilliant article that you can read here.
So there we have it, solid mouthwash , we live in the future now. Imagine explaining that to your ancestors. What a world we live in etc etc.
Seriously though, really good I recommend them. You can buy them on the website or at Oxford street.
