Colgate MaxFresh Toothpaste Blue Gel Paste with Menthol, Cooling crystals for fresh breath 38gm

Colgate MaxFresh is a line of fluoride toothpaste known for its refreshing and cooling sensation. It's available in various flavors and formulations, often featuring unique "cooling crystals" or "mini breath strips" that dissolve as you brush.

 

Key Features and Benefits

 

• Freshness: The primary selling point of Colgate MaxFresh is its ability to provide a long-lasting, intense feeling of freshness. The cooling crystals and menthol-based flavors contribute to this "super fresh" sensation.

• Cavity Protection: Like most toothpastes, Colgate MaxFresh contains the active ingredient sodium fluoride ($0.24\%$ or $0.15\%$ w/v Fluoride Ion), which is essential for preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel.

• Whitening: Many versions of Colgate MaxFresh also claim to whiten teeth by removing surface stains, thanks to ingredients like hydrated silica, which acts as a gentle abrasive.

• Germ Protection: The toothpaste is formulated to help fight germs and reduce bacteria, which are major causes of bad breath.
