Marvis, the classic Italian toothpaste was established over 40 years ago in Florence, Italy. During this time it has been hailed as the toothpaste to have and display in your bathroom thanks to the beautifully designed old world charm packaging.

Marvis is famous for it’s minty undertones which serve as a base for other original flavours. There are seven flavours in all, the two most recent being Amarelli Liquorice Mint and Cinnamon Mint. These both have just the right balance of flavour yet the fresh mint taste also comes through leaving your mouth feeling clean, refreshed and tingling.
All Marvis formulas help to prevent tooth decay, fight tartar and plaque and certainly keep your breath smelling fresher for longer than any other toothpaste that I have used. The paste has a rich, velvety texture which creates a gentle foam in the mouth, this in turn, makes brushing ones teeth a very pleasurable experience. Top marks for innovation.

Marvis toothpastes 75ml, £5.50.
