Tom's of Maine Brings Ingredient-Driven Innovations to the Natural Oral Care Aisle

KENNEBUNK, Maine, Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tom's of Maine, the #1 natural toothpaste and mouthwash brand, offers a wide range of natural choices to meet families' specific oral care needs. Today, the company is introducing two new product innovations with the launch of Activated Charcoal Toothpaste and Sea Salt Toothpaste and Sea Salt Mouthwash.

Activated Charcoal Toothpaste: Gentle & Effective Whitening
New Activated Charcoal Toothpaste from Tom's of Maine is the gentlest charcoal toothpaste* among leading natural brands and offers an enamel-safe formula mild enough for everyday use. It gently whitens teeth by removing surface stains and freshens breath with natural peppermint flavor.

Unlike most natural charcoal toothpastes, Tom's of Maine's Activated Charcoal Toothpaste (MSRP: $5.99) comes in both fluoride- and fluoride-free variants.  It does not contain SLS, artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or preservatives. The new toothpaste is made with sustainably sourced, plant-based charcoal and each toothpaste tube is fully recyclable through the Tom's of Maine collection program in partnership with TerraCycle.

"Our extensive product research has shown that our formula is less abrasive than other natural charcoal toothpastes on the market, providing an effective yet gentle whitening option," said Lindsey Seavey, oral care brand manager at Tom's of Maine. "As the #1 natural oral care brand, Tom's of Maine is committed to  continued product innovation and providing choice to help families wake up well!"

Sea Salt Anticavity Toothpaste & Mouthwash: The Perfect Blend of Salty & Sweet
Tom's of Maine's new Sea Salt toothpaste and mouthwash regimen embraces one of nature's most popular minerals to bring a unique taste to natural oral care routines.  Made with purified sea salt, the refreshing formulas carefully balance the naturally salty taste of the sea with the invigorating sweetness of peppermint for a refreshing taste experience that leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

Tom's of Maine's Natural Sea Salt Anticavity Toothpaste (MSRP: $5.99) gently scrubs away surface stains, fights cavities and helps replenish natural minerals to strengthen enamel. Completing this flavorful regimen, Tom's of Maine's Natural Sea Salt Mouthwash (MSRP: $5.49) cleanses the whole mouth, fights bad breath germs, and of course, is alcohol-free.

"Our new Sea Salt regimen is a unique oral care experience that is both great tasting and effective without artificial flavors, sweeteners, dyes or preservatives," Seavey added.  "Sea salt has long been used as a seasoning in cooking, and in beauty for its exfoliation benefits – this versatile ingredient, when combined with natural peppermint flavor, is equally at home in our toothpaste and mouthwash formulas that fight bad breath germs and freshen breath."
