The first step of The Pristine Protocol, a pre rinse that starts the clean before the toothbrush ever gets there.
Overview
Essential Oxygen's BR Organic Mouthwash + Brushing Rinse is Step One of The Pristine Protocol, EO's three step oral care system. It is a swish and spit pre rinse built on food grade hydrogen peroxide and organic aloe, designed to refresh the whole mouth and begin lifting surface stain before the patient ever picks up a toothbrush.
It is alcohol free, fluoride free, and free of glycerin and SLS, formulated as a gentler rinse for daily use, morning, night, or any time the patient wants a quick reset between meals.
Why This Product?
Most mouthwashes lean on alcohol to feel like they are working, that sharp, drying sensation patients associate with a clean mouth. Alcohol is also what leaves many mouths feeling parched and can be harsh on soft tissue with repeated daily use.
Essential Oxygen took a different approach. The Rinse uses food grade hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent, to do the actual work of refreshing the mouth and helping lift surface stain, while organic aloe leaf juice keeps the experience soothing rather than harsh. Patients get the sensation of a working rinse, foam and all, without the alcohol trade off.

This is a daily rinse, so it is a broad fit, but a few patient types tend to reach for it most:

The Essential Oil Blend
There's a story behind this particular blend. During the plague years, legend has it a band of thieves robbed the sick and the dead and somehow stayed well themselves. When they were finally caught, they traded their secret for leniency: an aromatic blend of botanicals they wore and breathed to stay protected. The classic "Thieves" oils are clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.
The Rinse carries the classic six, those five Thieves oils plus peppermint, so the same botanical lineage that runs through the whole Pristine Protocol starts right here, in Step One.
| Essential Oil | Its Role in the Blend |
|---|---|
| Peppermint | Contributes the formula's cooling, fresh flavor profile |
| Cinnamon Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes warmth to the flavor |
| Eucalyptus Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes to aroma and freshness |
| Clove Bud | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes a distinctive spice note |
| Lemon Peel | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, brightens the flavor profile |
| Rosemary Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, rounds out the aromatic complexity |
Suggested Use
Shake well. Swish a mouthful for 60 seconds, then spit. Use as a stand alone mouthwash any time of day, or as a pre rinse before brushing as Step One of The Pristine Protocol.
Pair It with the Full Protocol
This rinse is designed to work alongside Essential Oxygen Organic Low Abrasion Toothpaste and On-Demand Tooth Polish, not to replace daily brushing. Swish first, then brush, and bring in the Polish as needed for extra help with surface stain or tartar.
Dental professionals should adjust recommendations based on each patient's soft tissue health, sensitivity, restorations, and overall oral health needs.
